This winter, Air Canada will expand its presence to India during the winter 2024 season (October 2024-March 2025) which will see the carrier launch the only non-stop flights between Canada and India's financial capital Mumbai.
The Montreal-based carrier announced its strategic expansion of its international network to India which will include a new non-stop route from Toronto to Mumbai starting October 27. As the only non-stop route between Canada and Mumbai, Air Canada will operate four weekly flights using Boeing 777-200LR aircraft. According to Air Canada, the schedule for the Toronto-Mumbai route will offer convenient connections across North America to/from Air Canada's primary hub.
Between Montreal and Delhi, Air Canada will increase its flight frequencies from three-times weekly to daily.
Air Canada will introduce a new seasonal daily flight from Calgary to Delhi via London-Heathrow using Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft. The airline's Vancouver-Heathrow flights will be timed to offer convenient connections onto the Heathrow-Delhi segment.
"India is an important market for Air Canada, reflecting longstanding and growing family and trade ties between our two countries,” said Mark Galardo, Executive Vice President – Revenue and Network Planning at Air Canada. “We are thrilled to expand our network to Mumbai and Delhi by building additional scale at our hubs in time for Diwali festivities this fall. With new non-stop flights from Toronto to Mumbai, the addition of new flights to Delhi from Western Canada via London Heathrow, together with the unparalleled connectivity from our robust North American network, we are solidifying Air Canada as the leading airline offering the most travel options between Canada and India. We look forward to welcoming our customers onboard.”
With the additional flights, Air Canada reports it will be adding 40% more seat capacity to India during the winter season. The airline will operate 25 weekly flights offering 7400 seats during the winter between Canada and India.
