IndiGo Resumes Daily Flights Between New Delhi and Guangzhou,Signaling Stronger India-China Ties
Guangzhou,China – IndiGo airlines successfully launched daily non-stop flights between new Delhi and Guangzhou on Monday,marking a significant step in the resumption of air travel and strengthened connections between India and China.The inaugural flight touched down at Guangzhou Baiyun international Airport with near-full capacity, demonstrating robust early demand for the route.
The resumption of this direct flight path is particularly impactful given that India and China together represent over a third of the global population, according to Pieter Elbers, CEO of IndiGo, who was aboard the first flight. He described the launch as “an incredibly significant moment” for the airline and for broader international connectivity.
The new service is expected to cater to a diverse passenger base, including business travelers, students, and tourists.elbers highlighted the anticipated increase in travel as visa processes streamline and border restrictions continue to ease. “As the borders open and as visas will start to flow, there will be the opportunity to further build on that and address the multiple market segments,” he stated, emphasizing potential growth in student exchange programs and collaborative ventures between the two nations.
Prior to the reinstatement of the direct route, travelers were forced to connect through hubs in Asia and the Middle East, adding time and complexity to their journeys. IndiGo reports Monday’s flight was nearly fully booked, with only two no-show passengers, underscoring the pent-up demand for direct travel.
Looking ahead, Elbers expressed optimism about the long-term viability of the route, attributing its potential success to the growing economic relationship between India and China. He noted that ongoing efforts by both governments to enhance commercial ties will be crucial in sustaining passenger numbers.
“As things are moving forward, I think the two governments have taken steps to enhance that commercial relationship between the two countries,” Elbers said. He believes increased connectivity, facilitated by more direct flights, will foster new personal and professional relationships between the citizens of both countries, given the sheer scale of their combined populations.
