Amid Xi’s BRICS visit, China Southern announces flights to Delhi after 6 years

China Southern Airlines has announced the resumption of regular passenger flights on the Guangzhou-New Delhi route, commencing on September 21. This marks the airline's return after a six-year absence, which began in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The decision aligns with Chinese President Xi Jinping's upcoming visit to New Delhi for the BRICS Summit.

Prior to this, flights on the route had been suspended, leaving Air India and IndiGo as the only carriers offering services from India to China, and Air China and China Eastern Airlines operating in the opposite direction.
