Air Canada launched Toronto to Delhi in 2015 as a non-stop flight. There was also an Air Canada Vancouver – Delhi non-stop flight started seasonally in 2016, which they repeated in 2017 as a seasonal flight again. They subsequently added a flight between Toronto and Mumbai in 2017. Air Canada has announced that its current seasonal non-stop Vancouver-Delhi flights will become year-round starting June 8, 2018.
The year-round service will depart Vancouver Airport on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays at 1:30 a.m. Flights returning to Vancouver will leave Delhi on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays at 6:10 a.m. The direct flights are offered onboard Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner with a total travel time of about 14 hours non-stop.
Air Canada’s Vancouver to Delhi flights complement it’s non-stop Toronto to Delhi and Mumbai flights, totalling three year-round routes to India launched within the last two and a half years.
Air Canada’s flights to India operate with the airline’s Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, configured in three cabins with 30 Business Class lie-flat suites, 21 Premium Economy seats, and 247 Economy Class seats.
This flight is the stuff that makes up the wet dreams of government subsidized, cattle class filler airlines.
The Mumbai to Toronto flight is operated by a 777-200LR not 787-9
@Arun nowhere did we mention the Mumbai Toronto flight being operated by any plane.
“Air Canada’s flights to India operate with the airline’s Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, configured in three cabins with 30 Business Class lie-flat suites, 21 Premium Economy seats, and 247 Economy Class seats.”
He probably meant the Vancouver to Delhi flights are operated by 787s
Surprise that they can sustain such a low yielding prices with rising oil prices. Oil prices above $80-90 per barrel would easily curtail\kill this flight
