Direct air services connecting designated points in China and India will be resumed by late October 2025, in keeping with the winter season schedule, subject to the commercial decisions of the designated carriers from the two countries and fulfilment of all operational criteria, according to a press release posted on the website of India's Ministry of External Affairs on Thursday.

Since earlier this year, as part of the Indian government's approach toward gradual normalization of relations between India and China, the civil aviation authorities of the two countries have been engaged in technical-level discussions on resuming direct air services between the two countries and on a revised Air Services Agreement, according to the release.
