India-China direct flights resumption dates yet to be fixed

Indian and Chinese civil aviation ministries have had one round of talks on resuming direct air services between the two countries, New Delhi said on Monday, but no dates have been fixed yet.

Talks between the two countries were progressing but had not reached a stage where dates for the resumption could be fixed, Civil Aviation Secretary Vumlunmang Vualnam said at an event, adding that some issues remained to be solved.

India and China agreed in January to resume direct air services after nearly five years and said both sides would negotiate a framework on the resumption of flights.
