Shirdi airport to see an increase in flights with new night landing upgradation

Sai Baba devotees may soon be able to fly early morning or at night to Shirdi with the upgradation of its airport runway.

The first night operation at the Shirdi airport occurred on Sunday (30 Mar ’25) with the arrival of an IndiGo aircraft from Hyderabad. More such night operations are being planned to ease travel. Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis described the development as a historic milestone for Maharashtra’s aviation sector. “A big leap, enhancing ease for the passengers and connectivity for Shri Sai Baba devotees worldwide,” Fadnavis said in an X post.

 “Shirdi Airport will now be handling a total of 11 flights daily (22 movements), accommodating approximately 2200 passengers per day. Multiple airlines have expressed interest in introducing more flights, further facilitating seamless travel for devotees seeking Sai Baba’s darshan and the early morning Kakad Aarti (early morning prayers),“ said Swati Pandey, vice chairman and managing director of Maharashtra Airport Development Company. Shirdi airport is also undergoing an expansion which will result in construction of a new integrated terminal building. Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid the foundation stone of the new terminal last October.
