IndiGo Launches Daily Non-Stop Flights Between Kolkata and Guangzhou

IndiGo has commenced daily non-stop flights between Kolkata and Guangzhou, re-establishing direct air connectivity between India and Mainland China. Operated using the airline’s A320 aircraft, the new route is intended to facilitate passenger and cargo movement between the two major commercial centres.

Guangzhou, located in southern China, is recognised as a key global hub for manufacturing and export logistics. The new service aims to meet growing travel demand from business and leisure travellers, as well as strengthen trade and investment ties between India and China.

IndiGo will further expand its presence in the region with the launch of flights between Delhi and Guangzhou from 10 November 2025.

Flight Schedule (Effective 26 October 2025)

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.”
