IndiGo, India’s preferred airline, commenced daily, non-stop flights between Kolkata and Guangzhou, becoming the first Indian carrier to reinstate direct connectivity between India and Mainland China. The flights on this route will be operated on IndiGo’s A320 aircraft, offering a convenient and comfortable flying experience. Guangzhou in southern China is well-known as an important global business hub for manufacturing and export logistics. The resumption of connectivity from India caters to the growing demand for passenger and cargo movement between India and China, unlocking new opportunities for trade, investment, and tourism. Building on this expansion, IndiGo will also begin flights between Delhi and Guangzhou from 10 November 2025, further strengthening its presence in this important trade and travel corridor. Mr. Pieter Elbers, Chief Executive Officer at IndiGo, said, “We are excited to be the first Indian carrier to resume our daily non-stop flights between Kolkata and Guangzhou, reinstating one of the most important air links between India and China. Guangzhou, as a major commercial hub, offers immense opportunities for Indian businesses, exporters, and professionals. At the same time, it opens doors for Chinese travellers and investors to explore the rich culture and growing markets of India. This strategic move will enhance bilateral ties, support MSMEs, and boost tourism, education, and healthcare in both countries. Strengthening such links is key to our purpose of giving wings to the nation, and increasingly to the world.” Schedule of Flights between Kolkata and Guangzhou, Effective 26th October 2025 Sector Flight no.
