Investing.com -- India and China will resume direct flights after more than five years as the two major economies work to rebuild political ties amid rising trade uncertainties.
The Indian Ministry of External Affairs announced in a statement Thursday that air service with China can begin later this month, pending "commercial decision of the designated carriers from the two countries" and fulfillment of other operational requirements.
IndiGo, India's largest carrier, has already expressed willingness to start flights between the two countries once services are cleared. Air India is also expected to resume flying these routes.
Direct passenger flights between India and China were suspended during the Covid-19 pandemic and remained halted due to political tensions between the nations.
Prior to the suspension, Air India and IndiGo operated flights between the countries, alongside Chinese carriers including Air China, China Southern and China Eastern, connecting major cities in both nations.
