India-China to finalize air routes bypassing Pakistan by Diwali & Chinese New Year?

India is actively negotiating with China to establish an alternative air route through Xinjiang's Hotan region to bypass the ongoing Pakistan airspace ban. Currently, the ban forces Indian airlines flying to Europe and the United States to take lengthy detours, significantly increasing travel time and operational costs. These diplomatic discussions, which the Ministry of External Affairs has led for over a year, appear to have reached a major breakthrough. According to inside sources, officials have now finalized a timeline for the full-fledged resumption of flights, scheduling the launch for a date perfectly timed between India’s Diwali and the Chinese New Year.
