At a recent book launch in Salt Lake, Qin Yong, the Deputy Consul General of China in Kolkata, announced an increase in flights between India and China, marking a significant improvement in bilateral relations. The resumption of direct flights by IndiGo from Delhi to Guangzhou on April 28 symbolizes this renewed connectivity. Additionally, Air China has restarted its Beijing-Delhi services, operating three times a week, with economy fares starting at approximately USD 523 (3,570 yuan). This enhancement in air travel is seen as a result of warming ties between the two nations, particularly following Prime Minister Narendra Modi's attendance at the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation meeting in Tianjin last year. The author of the book, Rajiv K Poddar, noted that his work includes valuable lessons learned from China, which the Chinese consulate appreciated. This development is expected to facilitate easier travel for passengers and enhance commercial engagement in the aviation sector.
