Together they offer over 200 weekly nonstops — IndiGo alone has 18 daily departures, Air India 12, Akasa Air 2, and SpiceJet 1, with the first departure around 04:45 and the last around 23:15. The most common aircraft on the route are the Airbus A321-100 and A320neo.",
        "methodology": "Airlines and weekly frequencies are compiled from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We count each operating carrier's scheduled weekly departures and the days it flies; where there is no nonstop service, connecting carriers are identified by linking scheduled nonstop segments through common hub airports. Where a median fare is shown for a carrier, it reflects the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours. Carrier service and weekly frequencies are summarized from our flight-schedule database, which draws on published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data, and observed operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). Where available, on-time and cancellation rates come from the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) Airline On-Time Performance dataset, and typical fares from the U.S. DOT Airline Origin and Destination Survey (DB1B), a quarterly 10% sample of tickets sold. Aircraft types are taken from the equipment each operating carrier schedules on this route, drawn from published airline timetables and airline equipment schedules in our flight-schedule database.

The Ahmedabad Municipal Transport Service (AMTS) runs public buses to the airport, though they can be slower and less comfortable with luggage. Auto‑rickshaws are widely available and cheaper than taxis but offer no fixed fare. Driving yourself is possible with both short‑term and long‑term parking near the terminals, though the lots can fill up during peak hours.",
