    No direct flights between India and mainland China?

    I noticed recently that there doesn't seem to be a single direct flight, currently, between anywhere in India and anywhere in mainland China. For two such large countries, which even share a border, this seems really bizarre. Does anyone know why there isn't even one single flight? Or have I...

    This comment from Alan Joyce in last week's earnings call caught my attention: https://news.alphastreet.com/qantas-airways-ltd-qan-q4-2021-earnings-call-transcript/ So, if for some reason Singapore isn't open by December but Taiwan and the UK is, who knows - perhaps we'll see a daily...
