India, China may resume direct flights next month
India and China may resume direct flights as early as next month, people familiar with the talks said, as both nations seek to reset ties. Indian carriers have been asked to prepare services at short notice, with an announcement likely around the SCO summit in China later in Aug. Passenger flights were halted after Covid pandemic, forcing travelers to route via hubs like Hong Kong or Singapore. The move comes as India's ties with the US face strain amid a tariff war. On Monday, Air India said it would suspend its Washington DC service next month citing "operational factors." Relations between India and China soured after 2020 border clashes but have eased with India recently allowing tourist visas for Chinese nationals. Before the suspension, Air India, IndiGo, Air China, China Southern and China Eastern operated direct services. Both Air India and IndiGo are expected to restart China flights, though the exact timing remains uncertain.

India, China in 'advanced' negotiations to resume direct flight services soon
NEW DELHI: India and China are in an "advanced stage" of negotiations to resume direct flight services between the two countries soon, people familiar with the matter said on Tuesday. The development comes ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's likely visit to the Chinese city of Tianjin later this month to attend the annual summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO). The move to resume the flight services between the two Asian giants also comes amid some strain in India's ties with the US over President Donald Trump slapping a 50 per cent tariff on Indian goods. New Delhi and Beijing are moving forward in a "positive" trajectory to restart trade through four border transit points, the people cited above said. Direct flight services between India and China were suspended in 2020 following the Covid-19 pandemic. The air connectivity remained suspended in view of the eastern Ladakh border row. The people cited above said the Indian and Chinese negotiators are looking at firming up a new air services agreement to resume the flight services. But if that is not materialised, then the two sides are set to resume the services using the existing air services framework. It is learnt that Air India has been sounded out about the possible resumption of flight services between India and China.

India, China Could Resume Direct Flights Next Month, After 5 Years: Report
As India and China try to revamp their political ties, they are set to resume direct flights as early as next month, a Bloomberg report said, citing people familiar with the negotiations. Air connectivity between the two nations had been on hold since the Covid-19 pandemic. During that time, travellers had to pass hubs like Hong Kong or Singapore. However, the government has asked airlines in India to be prepared for flights to China on short notice. According to the report, an official confirmation could come as soon as the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit at the end of August, in China. The change comes as relations between India and US have hit an all-time low after US President Donald Trump doubled the tariffs on India to 50 per cent as a penalty for buying Russian oil. Air India announced on Monday that it would suspend its direct link to Washington owing to "operational factors". However, the airline still flies to New York and San Francisco. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to attend the SCO summit in Tianjin from August 31, where he may meet Chinese President Xi Jinping. Following border clashes in 2020, the relationship between India and China had worsened. It caused the death of 20 Indian soldiers and an unknown number of Chinese troops. Per the report, Air India and IndiGo could restart flights to China. The discussion regarding resuming flights between the two countries had just opened in January when a conflict between India and Pakistan shut off the countries again.
