IndiGo Flight Lands in Guangzhou as Direct India–China Services Resume

April 28, 2026

Guangzhou, China: An IndiGo flight from Delhi successfully reached Guangzhou on Tuesday, marking the resumption of direct flight services between India and China by the airline.

The arrival of the flight in China signifies the restoration of direct air connectivity between the two nations by the carrier. Following the resumption of these services, the Delhi-Guangzhou route is expected to facilitate easier travel for passengers.

According to a report by the Global Times, the Air China service will run three times a week on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays. Economy class fares start from approximately USD 523 (3,570 yuan), with flights departing Beijing at 3:15 pm and arriving in Delhi at 8:20 pm local time.

Reflecting this momentum, China Eastern Airlines resumed its direct flight between Kunming and Kolkata last month. The carrier had earlier reinstated direct flights between New Delhi and Shanghai in November last year, marking a steady return to pre-pandemic connectivity levels.

Prior to this, the airline had successfully reinstated the Kolkata-Guangzhou route and launched its new service on the Delhi-Guangzhou route. These milestones highlight the concerted efforts by both nations to revitalise air travel and economic cooperation. (ANI)
