Bhavnagar residents and travelers across Gujarat have a new reason to celebrate—Star Air is all set to start its much-awaited Ahmedabad – Jamnagar Direct Flight Service later this month. This new route will strengthen regional air connectivity and support faster, more convenient travel between two of Gujarat’s most important cities.
Starting from August 23, 2025, Star Air, the aviation arm of the Sanjay Ghodawat Group, will begin daily direct flights connecting Ahmedabad and Jamnagar. This move not only benefits regular flyers but also boosts tourism, business, and personal travel in the Saurashtra region.
Flight Timings and Aircraft Details
According to the official announcement, the Ahmedabad to Jamnagar flight (S5 614) will take off at 8:15 AM and land in Jamnagar at 9:05 AM. The return flight (S5 615) from Jamnagar will depart at 2:50 PM and reach Ahmedabad by 3:40 PM.
These flights will be operated using the Embraer ERJ-145 aircraft, a 50-seater jet known for its 1×2 seating layout, offering more comfort and space compared to typical narrow-body planes.
Affordable Introductory Fares
To make air travel even more attractive, introductory fares for this new Ahmedabad – Jamnagar flight start at just ₹2,222. Tickets are already available for booking on Star Air’s official website and leading online travel agencies.
This pricing is expected to benefit frequent fliers, business travelers, and even families who often rely on trains or long road trips for such routes. By offering competitive prices and better time-saving options, Star Air is clearly aiming to attract a wide segment of passengers.
Expanding Regional Connectivity from Ahmedabad
This new route is part of Star Air’s broader plan to expand its footprint in Gujarat. The airline already operates direct flights from Ahmedabad to Nanded, Belagavi, and Kolhapur. The addition of the Ahmedabad – Jamnagar route marks another step toward building a stronger regional air network.
With increasing demand for flights in western India, especially in the Saurashtra and Kutch regions, this route is likely to benefit not just Ahmedabad and Jamnagar but also nearby cities like Bhavnagar, Rajkot, and Dwarka. Travelers from Bhavnagar can now consider using Ahmedabad as a connecting hub for quicker access to Jamnagar and vice versa.
Operated Under the UDAN Scheme
Star Air operates under the Government of India’s UDAN (Ude Desh ka Aam Nagrik) scheme, which promotes regional connectivity and affordable air travel. Over the last six years, the airline has successfully carried more than 1.6 million passengers, offering reliable air service to underserved cities.
Its current fleet includes modern jets like the Embraer E145 and E175, which come equipped with both economy and business class cabins—a rare feature in regional aviation.
The use of smaller, fuel-efficient jets allows Star Air to operate cost-effective flights between cities that may not have heavy passenger traffic but still demand air connectivity. This is especially helpful for people in tier-2 and tier-3 cities, including business travelers from towns like Bhavnagar.

What This Means for Bhavnagar and Nearby Regions
While the new flight route directly connects Ahmedabad and Jamnagar, its impact will be felt across Gujarat. People from Bhavnagar, which is well connected by road and rail to Ahmedabad, can now access Jamnagar in a matter of hours.
Previously, those traveling from Bhavnagar to Jamnagar had to rely on lengthy road journeys or wait for infrequent train services. With this flight now in place, a trip from Bhavnagar to Jamnagar via Ahmedabad becomes much faster and more convenient—especially for business professionals, government employees, and tourists.
This indirect connectivity through Ahmedabad might also lead to future demand for direct flights from Bhavnagar, encouraging Star Air or other airlines to expand even further.

Conclusion: Ahmedabad – Jamnagar Direct Flight Service
The launch of the Ahmedabad – Jamnagar direct flight service by Star Air marks a big step forward in improving regional air travel in Gujarat. With comfortable aircraft, affordable fares, and daily operations, the service promises to bring new opportunities for tourism, business, and faster travel.
Cities like Bhavnagar stand to benefit greatly from this development, as residents can now connect more easily to the western parts of the state. As air travel continues to grow in India’s smaller cities, such initiatives will play a major role in transforming how people move across regions.
Star Air’s consistent focus on regional growth shows that the future of Indian aviation is not just in metro cities—but in the heart of tier-2 and tier-3 towns that are ready for faster, smarter travel.
