India-China direct flights: When to expect flights from Delhi as IndiGo plane takes off from Kolkata after 5 years

India-China direct flights have resumed from Kolkata after a five-year hiatus. Two of the world’s biggest economies seeking to rebuild political ties took a step towards the re-establishment of air travel. InterGlobe Aviation Limited, commonly known as IndiGo, commenced daily non-stop flights between Kolkata and Guangzhou on 26 October.

IndiGo’s A320 is the designated aircraft for flights on this route, connecting the city in southern China, well-known as an important global business hub for manufacturing and export logistics, with West Bengal’s capital.
