China Eastern to Start Daily Delhi–Shanghai Flights
China Eastern Airlines is starting daily flights between Delhi and Shanghai from January.
This is a big deal because the route was only restarted in November 2025 after being stopped for five years.
The airline was supposed to slowly increase flights from three to five times a week, but because so many people wanted to fly this route, they decided to start daily flights right away.
This shows that there is a strong demand for travel between India and China.
