Beijing: Air China has resumed its non-stop Delhi-Beijing flight, reconnecting the flight services between the two capitals.
With the resumption of the Delhi-Beijing flight, air connectivity between several cities of the two countries, disrupted since 2020 due to COVID-19 and then the military standoff in Eastern Ladakh, has been restored.
Air China has resumed non-stop flights connecting Beijing and Delhi on Tuesday, the airline said on its Facebook account.
The move follows the recent resumption of flights by China Eastern Airlines, which restarted its direct service between Kunming and Kolkata on April 18. The Kunming-Kolkata route operates six weekly round-trip flights using Boeing 737 aircraft.
China Eastern Airlines had previously resumed the Shanghai-Delhi route in November 2025. Indian airline IndiGo has also been expanding its presence in China.
On March 30, IndiGo commenced its inaugural daily non-stop service between Kolkata and Shanghai, using its A320neo aircraft. Previously, IndiGo resumed flights on the Kolkata-Guangzhou route and launched the Delhi-Guangzhou route on November 10, 2025.
According to operational data for April, IndiGo has maintained a passenger load factor between 68 percent and 85 percent on multiple China-India routes, with popular routes such as Delhi-Guangzhou and Kolkata-Guangzhou showing particularly strong performance.
