The new air connectivity is expected to strengthen trade, commerce, logistics and tourism in the Kutch region while supporting the growth of Mundra as a major business and logistics hub, the company said.
Expanded Route Network
Along with the Mumbai and Goa route, Star Air will launch eight new air services from Mundra Airport. The airline will connect Mundra with Hindon, Surat, Belagavi, Bengaluru, Kolhapur and Nanded, providing improved connectivity to key cities across the country. According to the company, the new services will significantly reduce travel time and create a faster corridor for businesses, traders and tourists travelling to and from the region.
Infrastructure and Facilities
Adani Mundra Airport has been developed with a 1,900-metre runway capable of handling a wide range of passenger and cargo aircraft. The modern terminal includes spacious parking facilities, multiple check-in counters, passenger lounges and a food court. The airport also offers accessibility features, including wheelchair facilities and dedicated passenger drop-off zones.
Impact on Trade and Logistics
The company said the new air connectivity will provide an important last-mile link for India's largest private port, Mundra Port, and the country's largest notified and operational multi-product Special Economic Zone (SEZ), Mundra SEZ. According to Adani Mundra Airport, the new flight services will help improve the movement of people and support the efficient management of trade volumes passing through the port. The connectivity is also expected to strengthen integration with national and global supply chains.
Synergy with Adani Group Operations
The company said the airport will create greater synergy between the Adani Group's port and aviation businesses while supporting the future growth of trade, industry and tourism in the Kutch region.
