India and China are set to resume direct flight connections as soon as September, people familiar with the negotiations said, as the world's two most populous countries seek to reset their political ties.

NEW DELHI -

Airlines in India have been asked by the government to prepare flights to China at short notice, with a possible official announcement as soon as the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit at the end of August in China, said the people, asking not to be identified because the negotiations are ongoing.

Passenger flights between the two neighboring countries were suspended after the Covid-19 pandemic, forcing travelers from India to China to pass through hubs like Hong Kong or Singapore.
