Nagpur: With India’s aviation sector facing an unprecedented operational crisis, passengers travelling between Nagpur–Mumbai and Nagpur–Pune are being advised to plan their journeys carefully and select reliable travel partners. The nationwide disruption has hit IndiGo — the largest carrier on these routes — the hardest, leading to mass cancellations, delays and rising uncertainty among travellers.
According to airport data and industry reports, hundreds of IndiGo flights have been cancelled across major Indian airports in recent days due to pilot duty-time regulations, crew shortages and operational disruptions. The airline’s on-time performance dropped sharply, creating ripple effects across its dense network.
Nagpur has been particularly impacted, as IndiGo dominates direct connectivity with Mumbai and Pune — cities home to large populations of Nagpurians for work, business and education. Multiple flights on these sectors have faced cancellations in the last 48 hours alone, forcing passengers to look for alternative and more dependable transport options.
Luxury Road Travel Gains Preference
Amid the ongoing turbulence in air travel, luxury intercity buses are witnessing a surge in demand. Reliable road operators are now emerging as preferred choices for passengers seeking certainty and comfort for same-day travel between Nagpur, Mumbai and Pune.
Sanjay Travels — a well-known Nagpur-based operator — has expanded its services with a wide fleet of premium buses, offering sleeper, business-class seating and executive comfort options. To enhance customer experience further, the company has opened a new passenger lounge at Baidyanath Square, designed especially for daily travellers boarding from the city centre.
New Lounge Offers Refreshing Start to the Journey
The passenger lounge promises a relaxed environment with essential amenities, aiming to make every journey begin on a refreshing note.
The facility features:
• A clean and comfortable waiting area
• Free high-speed Wi-Fi access
• Complimentary water bottles for passengers
The lounge is expected to offer a convenient waiting point not just for regular Mumbai–Pune passengers but also for travellers heading onwards to pilgrimage destinations such as Ujjain and Ayodhya, where the operator runs dedicated luxury services.
Why Passengers Are Switching
With uncertainty persisting in the aviation sector and the holiday season approaching, many travellers are preferring guaranteed departures, assured seats and premium onboard facilities.
Industry experts say this shift highlights a growing trust in established bus operators that offer reliable schedules and customer-centric amenities at competitive pricing — especially on high-traffic sectors where air travel has witnessed disruption.
For travellers planning business trips to Mumbai and Pune, or religious tours to Ayodhya, choosing a dependable travel partner ensures peace of mind and an uninterrupted journey.
Bottom Line
The ongoing flight crisis has reshaped travel decisions for many Nagpurians. Until airline operations return to full stability, passengers are choosing alternative modes that offer certainty. With premium buses, modern coaches and a newly launched lounge, Sanjay Travels is positioning itself as Nagpur’s most trusted intercity travel companion for Mumbai, Pune and beyond.
For seamless journeys — from professional commitments in metro cities to spiritual visits in major temples — passengers now have a reliable route forward without worrying about cancellations and delays.
