IndiGo launches daily Kolkata–Shanghai flight

IndiGo has launched a daily non-stop flight service between Kolkata and Shanghai, expanding its international network.

Operations on the route began on March 29, with flights being operated using A320neo aircraft.

The service connects eastern India directly with one of China’s major commercial centres, improving travel options for both business and leisure passengers.

Enhanced connectivity on this sector is expected to support trade and travel between the two countries, reported The Economic Times.

The addition of this route forms part of broader expansion plans in international aviation services.

Improved access from Kolkata is also expected to strengthen the city’s position in international air connectivity.

The development adds to ongoing efforts to expand airline networks and capacity.
