What HKT to BOM looks like
The HKT to BOM sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Phuket HKT to Mumbai BOM is a medium haul sector of 3,003 km by great circle, flown nonstop about twice a day.
At the cruise speed this site models for 3,003 km, 880 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 4h 07m.
Phuket HKT is a mid sized airport in the network held here, 49 scheduled destinations and 131 departures a day. Mumbai BOM has 106 destinations and 372.3 departures a day.
Mumbai carries about 2.8 times the departures of Phuket, so a courier who has to be rebooked has far more to work with at one end of this pair than at the other.
Mumbai is 1.5 hours behind of Phuket all year.
The pair sits inside Asia Pacific, a corridor where the site already publishes 16 written lanes that go into customs and ground detail this page does not.
Who flies the sector, and how often
Average daily frequencies on HKT to BOM from the scheduled route statistics, both directions, with the operating carriers named.
| Direction | Flights a day | Flights a week | Operated by |
|---|---|---|---|
| HKT to BOM | 2.29 | 16 | IndiGo, Starlight Airline |
| BOM to HKT | 1.71 | 12 | IndiGo, Starlight Airline |
Two carriers hold the sector, IndiGo and Starlight Airline, which gives a missed departure somewhere to go without leaving the nonstop.
Between them the two directions put about 28 departures a week on HKT to BOM, which is the number that decides whether a seat can be found today or on Thursday.
The clock from collection to signature
The same ground timings the route calculator starts from, applied to the 4h 07m block time on HKT to BOM. Change any of them in the tool further down and the total moves with them.
| Stage | Allowed | Elapsed |
|---|---|---|
| Collection and the run to HKT | 90 min | 1h 30m |
| At HKT before departure | 180 min | 4h 30m |
| HKT to BOM in the air, estimated | 247 min | 8h 37m |
| Formalities at BOM | 90 min | 10h 07m |
| Delivery run in Mumbai | 45 min | 10h 52m |
| Door to door | 652 min | 10h 52m |
On the desk standard ground timings, ninety minutes to collect and reach the airport, three hours at the airport before departure, ninety minutes of arrival formalities and a forty five minute delivery run, the door to door figure for HKT to BOM is 10h 52m.
A courier who leaves Phuket at 09:00 local is on the ground in Mumbai at about 11:37 local and at the door by 13:52 the same day.
Working backwards from a six in the evening handover in Mumbai, the last useful departure from Phuket is around 13:08 local.
When the nonstop does not work
Every airport that joins the two ends, ranked by when they land, among the ones whose weaker leg is dependable enough to plan on. Connection time is allowed for the size of the hub. 19 of them join HKT to BOM.
| Connecting at | HKT to hub, flights a day | Hub to BOM, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bangalore BLR | 2.43 | 40 | 3,155 | 6h 02m |
| Bangkok DMK | 21.57 | 0.71 | 3,701 | 6h 38m |
| Bangkok BKK | 26.43 | 7.57 | 3,705 | 6h 54m |
| Delhi DEL | 3.43 | 19.5 | 4,317 | 7h 32m |
| Kuala Lumpur KUL | 8.14 | 2.71 | 4,329 | 7h 39m |
| Ho Chi Minh City SGN | 1.86 | 0.86 | 4,699 | 7h 44m |
One nonstop a day means one chance a day, so the connections below are what a consignment that arrives at HKT in the afternoon actually flies on.
19 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Bangalore BLR, where the weaker of the two legs still runs about twice a day.
Through BLR the routing covers 3,155 km against the 3,003 km nonstop track and takes about 6h 02m in the air and on the ground at the hub, allowing 60 minutes to connect at an airport of that size.
That is only 1h 55m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.
Behind it, Bangkok DMK at 6h 38m and Bangkok BKK at 6h 54m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.
If nothing suitable leaves Mumbai, Pune PNQ is 124 km away by great circle and carries 34 scheduled destinations of its own, which is usually a shorter road transfer than a lost day.

Where this came from, and where to look next
- Carriers and frequencies: AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics, retrieved 2026-09-07. Average daily flights, not a timetable.
- Distances: great circle from published coordinates. They read short against a flown track, which is why the block time above applies a factor to them.
- Block and connection times: the same model the route calculator lower down this page runs, at the same rounding.
- Restrictions: the airport notes file, checked 2026-09-07.
- Industrial sites: public company information. Nothing here says or implies that any company named is a customer of any courier operator.
Who publishes this. OnBoard Courier is a placement desk in Dubai. An assignment is carried out by a vetted partner operator, with the desk as the single point of contact from the quote to the signature. This page exists because our own dispatchers need the answer for HKT to BOM in the twenty minutes before a promise is made, and a reference only one operator can read is not a reference. Free to read, quote and cite. Found an error? Tell us and we will correct it.
If you need something moved rather than looked up, the desk prices a hand carry in fifteen minutes.
