BRICS 2026 Update: China to Resume Direct Air Links from Guangzhou to New Delhi
Chinese President Xi Jinping also attended the 2026 BRICS Summit in New Delhi, India. It was followed by an invitation from Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. This will help both governments strengthen their relationship and boost their communication and connectivity.
China’s Southern Airlines has considered resuming flights from Guangzhou to New Delhi, after the successful Xi-Modi meeting. The resumption of flights between Guangzhou and New Delhi will also impact importers, exporters and business owners in the long run. Guangzhou acts as the biggest manufacturing, sourcing and trading centre for India. Some of the best products from Guangzhou include electronics, machinery, apparel and textiles, accessories, and more. China also hosts the Canton Fair, the world’s major trade exhibition, and many Indian business owners attend it regularly. Now, trading and sourcing across borders will be easier and faster for India and China.

History of India-China Direct Link
Before 2020, India and China had direct air links, connecting various ports. The COVID-19 pandemic put a halt to this connectivity. The situation worsened due to the 2020 Galwan Valley Clash, and it complicated the relationship between the two countries further. These tensions continued till October 2024, when the Border Disengagement Agreement was signed.
Since then, the bilateral engagements between the countries have been restored. Many flights have also resumed direct services from China to India. But now, after more than a 6-year halt, the Guangzhou-New Delhi direct flight is also resuming. It will help business owners travel from Guangzhou to New Delhi in 6 hours. The reopening of this air link is a positive sign for both countries for their future engagements.
Conclusion
Resumption of India-China direct links is great news for Indian importers and exporters. This is also a good opportunity for business owners. Trade and sourcing opportunities will undoubtedly improve once the flight resumes operating regularly.
