The services remained suspended in view of the eastern Ladakh border row.

Following recent diplomatic initiatives, private carrier IndiGo said it will resume services to China, connecting Kolkata to Guangzhou with daily, non-stop flights, starting October 26.

“The first flight is scheduled to leave Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport at 10 pm today,” the official said.
