IndiGo yesterday commenced daily, non-stop flights between Delhi and Guangzhou. The flights on this route will be operated using IndiGo’s A320neo aircraft, offering an affordable, convenient, and comfortable travel experience on the route. Last month, IndiGo became the first Indian airline to resume connectivity to China by reinstating its flights between Kolkata and Guangzhou.
This new route will further strengthen direct connectivity between the two nations by connecting the Indian Capital and a key aviation hub of the region – Delhi, with Guangzhou, a major business and manufacturing center in Southern China. With this expansion, IndiGo connects Delhi to 21 international destinations, underscoring the airport’s growing role as a strategic hub for regional and international connectivity.
Flight 6E 1701 will depart from Delhi at 21:45 and arrive in Guangzhou at 04:50 the next day. The return flight, 6E 1702, will depart Guangzhou at 05:50 and arrive in Delhi at 10:10.
Pieter Elbers, Chief Executive Officer at IndiGo, said, “Following the successful resumption of our Kolkata–Guangzhou flights, we are delighted to further expand IndiGo’s presence in China with this new daily connection from Delhi. This new route from the Indian Capital and our largest domestic hub will strengthen travel options and encourage economic and cultural exchange between the two countries. It will also connect Guangzhou to IndiGo’s vast domestic network of 90+ destinations, giving access across India to Chinese travelers. We are thankful to both governments for their support in restoring these links, opening significant opportunities for trade, tourism, and collaboration. As we continue to expand internationally, we remain committed to building such strategic air corridors that foster deeper regional connectivity and unlock new avenues for growth.”
