Why This Flight Matters
Direct flights between India and China were suspended in early 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and geopolitical tensions. With easing restrictions and improved diplomatic relations, IndiGo is bridging the gap for business and leisure travelers.
Guangzhou, known as the "City of Five Rams," is a major economic, cultural, and trade hub. For Indian travelers, this flight offers easy access to:
- Vibrant shopping destinations
- Historical and cultural landmarks
- Business opportunities in southern China
