With no nonstop currently bookable, the route is served one-stop by carriers routing through their hubs — including Air India via Delhi, Singapore Airlines via Singapore, Qatar Airways via Doha, Emirates via Dubai, and Cathay Pacific via Hong Kong (FlightConnections, accessed 2026-07-11).

Direct vs. connecting flights
This is a connecting route today. Air India launched a nonstop Mumbai–Melbourne service in December 2023 — Australia's second nonstop link to Melbourne after Delhi — but converted it to a seasonal operation in 2025: the last nonstop departed Mumbai on 28 March 2025, the route was suspended from 29 March to 13 September 2025, and Air India resumed it on 14 September 2025 as a three-times-weekly winter service (Free Press Journal; Aviation A2Z; Travel And Tour World, 2025). As of July 2026 no nonstop is bookable — consistent with the same seasonal off-window — and current status has not been confirmed to have changed, so plan on a one-stop trip and re-check before travel.
Best time to fly & book
Fares tend to be higher around major holidays and the year-end peak, and lower in quieter months. Because any nonstop on this pair has run seasonally, availability itself varies through the year — booking ahead and keeping dates flexible generally gives more choice.
