⚡️ After a 5-year break, China Eastern Airlines, a carrier based in the Chinese mainland, relaunched flight MU563 from Shanghai Pudong International Airport to Delhi at 1:02 pm on Sunday, carrying 248 passengers. This marks the first China-India route restart by a domestic carrier in 2025!
✈️ In airline lingo, the load factor tells you how full a flight is. With a rate above 95%, MU563 was almost fully booked—proof that travel itch between the Chinese mainland and India is real.
🌏 For young pros and Gen Z in South and Southeast Asia, this direct link means more weekend escapes. Imagine grabbing butter naan in Delhi’s bustling markets one weekend and slurping xiao long bao in Shanghai the next—all without long layovers.
📲 Plus, mobile check-in and digital boarding passes make hopping on this flight super smooth. Less time at the airport, more time exploring—and fewer carbon footprints thanks to fewer connecting flights.
