Send Push
After a gap of more than four years, direct air connectivity between Kolkata and China’s Guangzhou city will resume on Sunday.

According to an official at the Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport, the first flight is scheduled to depart at 10 pm.

The service, which was halted in early 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and later remained suspended amid the eastern Ladakh border tensions, is being revived following recent diplomatic progress.

IndiGo will operate daily non-stop flights between Kolkata and Guangzhou starting October 26, marking the return of direct connectivity between eastern India and southern China.
