Monday, June 3, 2024 Air Canada unveiled its strategic plans for expanding its international reach into India, with a significant 40% increase in seat capacity scheduled to commence in late October for the Winter 2024-25 season. Notable enhancements include the introduction of exclusive non-stop flights from Canada to Mumbai, the financial hub of India, as well as upgraded services connecting Western Canada to Delhi through the introduction of new seasonal daily flights via London Heathrow. Additionally, Air Canada will launch daily flights from Montreal to Delhi.
With a total of 25 weekly flights to India, this expansion represents the most comprehensive offering by 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. 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,” said Mark Galardo, Executive Vice President – Revenue and Network Planning at Air Canada. This winter, Air Canada is set to operate.
