India-China Ties Reset? Direct Flights Between India And China To Resume After 5-Year Freeze

This special report details a major boost in India-China ties with the resumption of direct flights after a five-year suspension that began with the COVID-19 pandemic and continued due to border tensions. The report states, 'Direct flights between India-China after five long years.' The first service, operated by IndiGo, launched on October 26 from Kolkata to Guangzhou. This will be followed by a China Eastern Airlines flight from Shanghai to New Delhi, scheduled to resume on November 9. The move follows high-level diplomatic discussions, including at the recent SCO Summit in Tianjin, and is seen as a significant step toward normalising trade, tourism, and people-to-people exchanges between the two Asian giants.
