The following airlines operate regular services between Kochi and Mumbai. Each airline offers different fare classes, baggage allowances, and onboard services.

Full-service carriers like Air India and Vistara include meals and checked baggage. Low-cost carriers like IndiGo and SpiceJet offer lower base fares with optional add-ons for meals, extra baggage, and seat selection.
