India and China are making preparations to restart direct passenger flights in the coming month, a move signaling an attempt to mend strained ties between the two nations. The negotiations indicate a positive step towards enhancing travel connections that have been disrupted due to the pandemic. The potential resumption of flights could coincide with the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit in August, likely to be attended by leaders from both countries. Airlines have been advised to be ready for immediate operations to China, aiming to facilitate smoother travel experiences for passengers. This initiative comes after a challenging period in bilateral relations, influenced by various geopolitical factors.
