India and China to Reboot Direct Flights After 5-Year Freeze
Indian authorities announced Thursday that direct flights between the two countries will resume by late October, ending a five-year suspension.
The decision comes as relations between India and China begin to thaw. The resumption of flights is part of India's "approach towards gradual normalization of relations" with China, according to India's embassy in Beijing.
Direct flights were suspended during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and did not resume due to prolonged border tensions between the two nations.
India's largest carrier IndiGo has announced it will resume flights between designated cities. The move is expected to boost trade and tourism between the countries.
This development marks a significant step towards improving relations between India and China, which have been strained in recent years.
