Air Canada is adding 40% more capacity to India for the winter season, including the only non-stop between Toronto and Mumbai.

Canada’s largest airline on 03JUN said it also will add service from YVR to DEL via LHR and introduce daily flights from YUL to DEL.

Air Canada will operate 25 weekly flights to India, the most comprehensive offering of any carrier between Canada and India.

"India is an important market for Air Canada, reflecting longstanding and growing family and trade ties between our two countries,” said Mark Galardo, Air Canada’s EVP of Revenue and Network Planning.
“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,” Galardo said.
Air Canada will operate 25 weekly flights, representing 7,400 seats each week this winter, from Canada to India. These flights will comprise up to 11 weekly flights from YYZ to DEL and BOM, daily flights from YUL to DEL, and daily flights to DEL from Western Canada via LHR.
