What PNQ to BLR looks like
The PNQ to BLR sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Pune PNQ to Bangalore BLR is a short sector of 723 km by great circle, flown nonstop 23.4 times a day.
At the cruise speed this site models for 723 km, 720 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 1h 34m.
Pune PNQ is a smaller airport in the network held here, 34 scheduled destinations and 124.4 departures a day. Bangalore BLR has 96 destinations and 391.8 departures a day.
Bangalore carries about 3.2 times the departures of Pune, so a courier who has to be rebooked has far more to work with at one end of this pair than at the other.
Pune and Bangalore keep the same clock all year, so the arrival time is the departure time plus the block and nothing else.
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 PNQ to BLR from the scheduled route statistics, both directions, with the operating carriers named.
| Direction | Flights a day | Flights a week | Operated by |
|---|---|---|---|
| PNQ to BLR | 23.43 | 164 | Air India Express, IndiGo, Starlight Airline |
| BLR to PNQ | 22.29 | 156 | Air India Express, IndiGo, Starlight Airline |
3 carriers are recorded on the sector, so a missed departure is normally a rebooking rather than a lost day.
At 23.4 times a day there is usually another departure within a few hours, which is what makes a same day booking on this pair realistic.
Between them the two directions put about 320 departures a week on PNQ to BLR, 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 1h 34m block time on PNQ to BLR. Change any of them in the tool further down and the total moves with them.
| Stage | Allowed | Elapsed |
|---|---|---|
| Collection and the run to PNQ | 90 min | 1h 30m |
| At PNQ before departure | 180 min | 4h 30m |
| PNQ to BLR in the air, estimated | 94 min | 6h 04m |
| Formalities at BLR | 90 min | 7h 34m |
| Delivery run in Bangalore | 45 min | 8h 19m |
| Door to door | 499 min | 8h 19m |
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 PNQ to BLR is 8h 19m.
A courier who leaves Pune at 09:00 local is on the ground in Bangalore at about 10:34 local and at the door by 12:49 the same day.
Working backwards from a six in the evening handover in Bangalore, the last useful departure from Pune is around 14:11 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. 24 of them join PNQ to BLR.
| Connecting at | PNQ to hub, flights a day | Hub to BLR, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Goa GOI | 1 | 8.43 | 839 | 3h 14m |
| Hyderabad HYD | 9 | 16.86 | 955 | 3h 24m |
| Chennai MAA | 6.71 | 14.71 | 1,181 | 3h 34m |
| Kochi COK | 2.29 | 12.71 | 1,342 | 3h 47m |
| Nagpur NAG | 3.29 | 2.71 | 1,493 | 4h 01m |
| Indore IDR | 3.71 | 4 | 1,578 | 4h 07m |
With 23.4 times a day on the nonstop, a connection here is a disruption plan rather than a routing, and it is listed because a closed runway or a cancellation wave is exactly when nobody has time to work it out.
24 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Goa GOI, where the weaker of the two legs still runs about once a day.
Through GOI the routing covers 839 km against the 723 km nonstop track and takes about 3h 14m 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 40m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.
Behind it, Hyderabad HYD at 3h 24m and Chennai MAA at 3h 34m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.
If nothing suitable leaves Pune, Mumbai BOM is 124 km away by great circle and carries 106 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 PNQ to BLR 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.
