More Chinese flights to India

Beijing: In view of increasing tourist exchange between China and India, Air China today said it will start operating daily flights between Beijing and New Delhi starting 31 October.
At present it has only four flights a week between the two cities.
The state flag carrier will be joined by another international carrier, China Southern, which is expected to start three flights a week to Delhi from Guangzhou (erstwhile Canton), a home to more than 3,500-strong Indian community and throbbing business hub in south China. “The flights will be seven a week on the first anniversary of our starting of Beijing-Delhi sector on same day last year,” Mr Zhao Quanzhen, Air China country manager (India), said.
The flag carrier had started with three flights a month. Noticing demand, it added another flight in March this year.
Mr Zhao said the expansion of operations in India was a part of Air China’s global expansion plan.
