The Kolkata-Shanghai route is being operated with IndiGo\u2019s A320neo aircraft as the airline continues to address the growing demand for trade and tourism between two of the world\u2019s most populous nations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Residents in Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Ahmedabad, Pune, Jaipur and Bhubaneswar will be able to connect with the flight from Kolkata to Shanghai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IndiGo Head of Global Sales Vinay Malhotra said: \u201cWe are pleased to commence our daily, direct flights between Kolkata and Shanghai, further strengthening connectivity between India and China. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to our existing daily connectivity from Delhi and Kolkata to Guangzhou, we now operate 21 weekly flights to mainland China. Shanghai is one of the world\u2019s leading financial and commercial centres, and an important gateway for global trade. <\/p>\n\n\n
