Beijing Capital Airlines

Direct flights from the southern city of Shenzhen to Beijing have been suspended until at least July 1, booking apps showed, ahead of celebrations for the Chinese Communist Party's founding in the capital on that date.

An airplane flying from China to Vietnam turned back to make an emergency landing after cracks appeared in a window, just two weeks after another airliner's cockpit window broke mid-flight in the country, state media said Wednesday.

From outstripping Beijing, known for its record pollution, to international airlines cancelling flights to the world's most polluted capital, Delhi saw pollution last week that peaked at 40 times the World Health Organization's safe level. The ordeal for the city of 20 million, however, might be over for now.
