(TAN): Air Canada is set to expand its India services, with additional flights from Toronto, and a new year-round, non-stop route between Montreal and Delhi, the airline said.
Starting October 31, just in time for Diwali celebrations, Air Canada will offer three flights per week to the growing Indian community in Montreal. Additionally, the airline is increasing frequency to Delhi from Toronto to ten flights per week beginning October 15. All flights will be operated with Air Canada’s 298-seat Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner featuring a choice of three cabins of service: Air Canada Signature Class, Premium Economy and Economy class.
“The Canada-India market is an important and strategic one for Air Canada. These additional flights and new route demonstrate Air Canada’s anticipation about the promise and growth of the Indian subcontinent– and we also look forward to further strengthening the cultural and business ties between our two countries,” said Mark Galardo, SVP, network planning and revenue management at Air Canada. “Air Canada is the only carrier offering a direct service to Delhi out of Montreal, allowing for easy connections through our extensive network. We continue to focus on the growing visiting friends and relatives market and this capacity expansion is a response to increasing demand.”
As the leading carrier between the two countries, Air Canada offers daily flights from Vancouver, up to 10 flights a week from Toronto and three flights a week from Montreal. The airline’s service to Mumbai will resume when conditions permit.
