Flight Services
China Eastern Airlines commenced direct air services between Beijing, Shanghai and New Delhi in March 2002. China Eastern presently flies thrice per week on the Beijing-Shanghai-Delhi sector. Air India started operations to China in December 2003. It operates two flights per week to Shanghai via Bangkok. The conclusion of the MOU on Civil Aviation during Premier Wen Jiabao’s recent visit to India will have a positive affect on enhancing air transportation links between the two countries. The MOU provides for major liberalization of air links between India and China with multiple designation of carriers and an ‘Open Skies’ policy for cargo, an increase in capacity entitlements, more points of call and an increase in the number of intermediary and beyond points. The Memorandum also provides for simplification of the Visa procedures for operating and cabin crew, employment of foreign pilots by designated airlines of either party, use of dry leased aircraft for both combination services and cargo services.
