Direct air services between India and China are set to resume after more than five years, with IndiGo restarting operations to Guangzhou as the first carrier to re-establish connectivity between the two countries. 

The airline will resume its Kolkata–Guangzhou route from October 26 and launch a new Delhi-Guangzhou service on November 10.

The decision follows a bilateral agreement between New Delhi and Beijing to restore air links that had been suspended since the Doklam standoff and further delayed by the Covid-19 pandemic.

In a statement on October 11, IndiGo said it will operate daily, non-stop flights between Delhi and Guangzhou using its Airbus A320neo aircraft. The airline added that the resumption of services will re-establish channels for business, trade, and tourism between the two countries.
