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 To Resume Direct Flights Soon; Airlines Told To Prepare For September Launch
India and China will soon resume direct flights as early as September, marking a major step in an effort to defuse years of tense diplomatic relations, sources close to the situation said. The government has informed domestic carriers to be ready for flights to China on short notice, and an official announcement is expected by the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit set for later this month in China. Sources indicate that IndiGo, a major Indian carrier, has already been asked to commence preparations for the resumption of services. Direct flights between the two Asian economic powerhouses were suspended following the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, forcing travelers to endure lengthy journeys via transit hubs like Hong Kong or Singapore. The suspension of flights coincided with a sharp deterioration of bilateral relations, which hit rock bottom after the fatal border clashes broke out in eastern Ladakh's Galwan Valley in June 2020. The clash claimed the lives of 20 Indian troopers and at least four Chinese soldiers. In retaliation, New Delhi had imposed a series of measures, such as the banning of 59 Chinese mobile applications, a step described by Beijing as "discriminatory" and vowed to oppose in the World Trade Organisation. Though, a move towards normalisation had been seen last month when India said it was restoring tourist visas for Chinese citizens. That was a conscious attempt to repair bilateral relations, which were at an all-time low since the military confrontation on the Line of Actual Control (LAC). Before the suspension, over a dozen of these direct flights ran on a weekly basis, connecting large Indian cities such as New Delhi, Mumbai, and Kolkata with Chinese destinations like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Kunming. These direct flights were operated by both Indian and Chinese airlines such as Air India and IndiGo, and Air China, China Southern, and China Eastern, respectively. The key agreement to restore direct flights was initially made in January this year. In a meeting between Indian Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, the two countries also agreed to promote people-to-people exchanges, especially between the media and the think tanks. The talks also covered the restoration of the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra, a pilgrimage that was suspended since 2020. India-China Relations Aiming To Comeback Amid Deeper Geopolitical Realignments? The fresh push to revive direct flights and enhance bilateral ties comes on the eve of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's first visit in seven years to China to take part in the SCO Summit on August 31 and September 1. China has officially extended a warm invitation to the expected visit, with Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun saying, "We believe that with the concerted effort of all parties, the Tianjin summit will be a gathering of solidarity, friendship, and fruitful results, and the SCO will enter a new stage of high-quality development featuring greater solidarity, coordination, dynamism, and productiveness." HT has also said PM Modi's visit would potentially open the door for a bilateral meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping. This warming up of India-China ties comes against the background of rising trade tensions between the United States and India. US President Donald Trump recently doubled the duties on Indian imports from 25 percent to 50 percent, blaming New Delhi's purchases of Russian oil. In a remarkable display of solidarity for India, Chinese Ambassador Xu Feihong publicly rebuked Trump as a "bully," warning India against caving in to US trade pressure with the maxim, "give the bully an inch, he will take a mile." China itself has been involved in its own retaliatory tariff war with the US under President Trump. But in a recent twist, President Trump on Monday announced a 90-day delay on scheduled tariff increases on Chinese products.

India, China to resume direct flights soon amid push to reset tense ties, airlines told to start preparations
India and China are set to resume direct flights as soon as September, as the two countries seek to reset political ties after years of tensions, sources have said. IndiGo has reportedly already been asked to begin preparing flights to China. (PTI) The Indian government has reportedly asked airlines in the country to prepare flights to China at short notice, with an official announcement likely as soon as the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit at the end of this month in China. IndiGo has already been asked to begin preparations, sources told HT. Direct flights between India and China were halted after the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, forcing travellers to travel via hopping flights through hubs like Hong Kong or Singapore. Diplomatic relations of the two Asian heavyweights also hit a new low in June 2020, when border clashes erupted in eastern Ladakh's Galwan Valley. The clashes led to the deaths of 20 Indian soldiers and at least four Chinese personnel. Against the backdrop of the clashes, New Delhi took a series of measures against Beijing, including a ban on 59 Chinese mobile applications. China termed the ban 'discriminatory' and considered taking the issue to the World Trade Organization. Last month, India announced the resumption of tourist visas for Chinese nationals, marking a step towards the normalisation of bilateral ties that hit their lowest point following the military standoff on the Line of Actual Control (LAC). Before the suspension, Indian airlines, including Air India and IndiGo, used to operate direct flights between key cities of the two countries. Over a dozen direct flights were being operated every week, connecting cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Kunming with New Delhi, Mumbai, and Kolkata. Chinese airlines such as Air China, China Southern and China Eastern also used to run direct services. India and China first agreed in principle to resume direct flights in January this year. The countries also agreed to promote and facilitate people-to-people contacts, especially between media and think tanks. The decision, taken at the meeting between foreign secretary Vikram Misri and Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi, also included the resumption of the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra, which had been stopped since 2020. India-China ties heading for revival? Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to visit China for the first time in seven years to attend the SCO Summit, scheduled to be held in Tianjin on August 31 and September 1. China welcomed PM Modi's expected visit. Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said, "We believe that with the concerted effort of all parties, the Tianjin summit will be a gathering of solidarity, friendship and fruitful results, and the SCO will enter a new stage of high-quality development featuring greater solidarity, coordination, dynamism and productiveness.' HT reported that the Prime Minister's visit will also set up the possibility of a bilateral meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping. The renewed push to resume direct flights and improve bilateral ties between the two Asian countries comes against the backdrop of heightened tensions over US President Donald Trump's tariffs on India, which he doubled from 25 per cent to 50 per cent due to New Delhi's oil purchase from Russia. China voiced support for India as Chinese Ambassador Xu Feihong publicly called Trump a 'bully' and warned India that 'give the bully an inch, he will take a mile,' urging New Delhi not to yield to US trade pressure. China and the US were also engaged in a tit-for-tat battle over Trump's reciprocal tariffs, raising the levies on each other. However, Trump on Monday announced a postponement of the planned tariff hikes on Chinese goods, extending the deadline for another 90 days. (with inputs from Bloomberg)
