India and China have agreed to restart direct air services between designated cities by late October 2025, marking a step toward the normalization of bilateral relations. These flights were suspended during the COVID-19 pandemic and disrupted further due to border tensions. The resumption is part of a broader effort to restore diplomatic, trade, and people-to-people exchanges, including tourism and education. Civil aviation authorities from both countries have revised the Air Services Agreement to facilitate this connectivity. Major hubs like Delhi, Mumbai, Beijing, and Shanghai are expected to benefit, strengthening economic and cultural ties between the two nations.
