IndiGoโ Resumes Daily Flights Between New Delhi and Guangzhou,Signaling Stronger India-China โTies
Guangzhou,China – IndiGo airlines successfully launched dailyโฃ non-stop flights between new Delhi and Guangzhou โคon Monday,marking a significant step in the resumption of air travel and strengthened connections between India and China.The inaugural flight touched down atโฃ Guangzhou Baiyun international Airport with near-full capacity, demonstrating robust earlyโ demand for the route.
The resumption of this direct flight path is particularly impactful given โขthat India โขand China togetherโฃ 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 broaderโฃ internationalโ connectivity.
The new service is expected to cater โto a diverseโค passenger base, โคincluding business travelers, students, and tourists.elbers highlighted the anticipated increase in travel โฃas visa processes โstreamline and border restrictions continue to ease. “As the borders open and as โvisas will start to flow, there will be the opportunityโ to further build on that and address theโ multipleโ market segments,” he โคstated, emphasizing potential growth in student exchangeโ programs and collaborative ventures between โthe 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.โฃ IndiGo reports Monday’sโข flight was nearly fully booked,โข with only two no-show passengers, underscoring the pent-upโ demand for direct travel.
Looking ahead, Elbers expressedโ optimism โabout theโฃ long-term โขviability of the route, attributing itsโ potential success to the growingโ economic relationship between India and โChina. He noted that ongoing efforts by both governments to enhance commercial ties will be crucial in โฃsustaining passenger numbers. โฃ
“As things are moving forward, I think the two governments have taken stepsโฃ to enhance thatโข commercial relationship between the two countries,” Elbers said. โฃ He believes increased connectivity, facilitated by more โคdirect flights, โwill foster new personal and professional relationships between the citizens of bothโ countries, given the sheer scale of their combined populations.
