The resumption of direct flights between India and China marks a significant milestone in strengthening bilateral relations, fostering economic cooperation, and enhancing cultural exchanges between the two nations. IndiGo Airlines, India’s largest carrier, has reinstated daily nonstop flights between Kolkata and Guangzhou, with plans to expand services to other key cities. China Eastern Airlines has also announced the resumption of direct flights between Shanghai and New Delhi, signaling a renewed commitment to connectivity. This development, celebrated by officials and passengers alike, is expected to reduce travel time and costs, while opening doors for investors, tourists, and businesses. The initiative is seen as a practical step to connect over 2.8 billion people, supporting sectors such as tourism, education, healthcare, and trade. The long-awaited service, suspended since March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, is anticipated to act as a catalyst for deeper engagement and mutual growth. Analysts and industry leaders have hailed the move as a positive sign for economic, diplomatic, and strategic relations between the two countries.
