China's national carrier Air China has stirred outrage with a racist travel warning in its in-flight magazine targeting "Indians, Pakistanis and black people".

An article in its in-flight magazine 'Wings of China' cautioned travellers to London, a popular destination for China's booming outbound tourism market, with a warning that read: "London is generally a safe place to travel, however precautions are needed when entering areas mainly populated by Indians, Pakistanis and black people".

The article was noticed by journalist Haze Fan, a Beijing-based producer with CNBC, who posted an image online.

The article further added, "We advise tourists not to go out alone at night, and females always to be accompanied by another person when travelling."
