Air China resumed direct flights between Beijing and Delhi on April 21, the Chinese Embassy in India said. Spokesperson Yu Jing announced the relaunch, noting both the outbound and return services were operated with an Airbus A332 (A330-200) and that the arriving and departing flights landed ahead of schedule. The on-time performance was highlighted as a positive sign for the route’s restart. The restored service is intended to simplify travel for business passengers, tourists and students by reducing reliance on lengthy layovers through third-country hubs. Beyond the commercial benefits of shorter, more direct connections, officials see the move as carrying diplomatic significance: it is expected to stabilise logistics, strengthen people-to-people ties and support continued economic and aviation links between China and India. In a post on X, Yu Jing described the relaunch as a ‘strong and confident start’ that reconnects the skies and paves the way for easier journeys and closer ties between the two peoples. With the corridor reopened, travellers can expect faster connections and a potential boost to trade and aviation activity as regular services continue.
