Effective from Tuesday, Air China will resume its direct flight route between Beijing and Delhi, which marks the second route to India resumed by Chinese airlines in this month.

Starting from last Saturday, China Eastern Airlines resumed its direct flight between Kunming, Southwest China's Yunnan Province and Kolkata of India.

This is the carrier's latest expansion of China-India route network following the resumption of the Shanghai-Delhi route in November of 2025.

China Eastern Airlines said that the route, operating six weekly round-trip flights under with Boeing 737, will add more convenience to the China-India collaboration.

The frequent flights by Chinese airlines came amid a similar push by Indian airlines. Indian airline IndiGo announced in March the launch of daily direct flights between Kolkata and Shanghai, which started on March 29.

Previously, IndiGo resumed the Kolkata-Guangzhou route and launched the Delhi-Guangzhou route. With the introduction of the Kolkata-Shanghai route, IndiGo said it will continue to enrich travel options between China and India, effectively meeting the growing demand for economic, trade, and tourism exchanges between the world's two most populous nations.
