India–China Direct Flights Resume After Five Years, Marking Thaw In Strained Ties | Spotlight | N18G #Firstpost

Direct flights between India and China have resumed after a five-year suspension, marking a cautious step toward normalising relations between the two neighbours. IndiGo’s flight 6E1703 from Kolkata landed in Guangzhou with nearly 180 passengers, officially restoring air connectivity halted in 2020 due to the pandemic and border clashes. India said the move would strengthen people-to-people contact and trade ties, while a Chinese consular official called it “a very important day” for bilateral relations. The resumption follows recent meetings between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Xi Jinping aimed at easing long-standing tensions.
