India, China accelerate resumption of direct flights
India and China are gearing up to bring back direct flights, which have been on pause since early 2020 thanks to COVID-19 and border tensions. Both sides seem ready to reconnect, with talks pointing toward better ties and easier travel.
Airlines are working out the details
Officials and airlines from both countries are ironing out the details—think flight slots, ground handling, and visas. While IndiGo and Air India will likely handle Indian routes (connecting cities like New Delhi and Shanghai), there's no official restart date yet. Still, this move could mean smoother trips for travelers and a boost for trade.
Restoring people-to-people connect
Direct flights between India and China aren't just about convenience—they're set to make business, tourism, and people-to-people exchanges way easier. It's a sign that both countries want to rebuild cooperation after some rocky years.
