New Delhi, October 2 (Udaipur Kiran News): India and China are set to resume direct flight services by the end of October, marking a significant step towards normalising bilateral relations. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) shared the update on Thursday, following recent discussions between the two nations’ civil aviation authorities.

According to the MEA, the agreement will help strengthen people-to-people connectivity and contribute to the gradual normalisation of exchanges between India and China.

Earlier this year, as part of India’s strategy to restore normal diplomatic and economic ties with China, both sides began technical-level discussions to restart direct air services and revise the existing air service agreement.

Following these talks, both nations have now reached a mutual understanding to commence direct flights linking designated cities in India and China by late October.

The ministry clarified that the launch of flight operations will depend on the commercial decisions of the designated airlines and the fulfilment of all operational requirements.
