India and China are all set to expand air connectivity with resumption of direct flights between Delhi and Beijing from Tuesday, marking the second route to India to be restored this month.
The service will operate three times a week — on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays — using an Airbus A330 aircraft. Economy class fares are expected to start from 3,570 yuan (approximately USD 523), with departure scheduled at 3:15 pm from Beijing and arrival in Delhi at 8:20 pm local time.
Flight connections between India and China are slowly returning to normal. China Eastern Airlines restarted its direct Kunming–Kolkata flights on April 18, operating six return flights a week using Boeing 737 aircraft. The airline said this will make travel easier and improve people-to-people ties. Earlier, it had also resumed the Shanghai–Delhi route in November 2025.
On the Indian side, IndiGo has expanded its services to China. It started a daily non-stop flight between Kolkata and Shanghai on March 30, along with earlier resumed flights to Guangzhou and new routes from Delhi. The airline is using A320neo aircraft for these services.
