Air Canada to launch Vancouver-Delhi flight

Air Canada is all set to introduce non-stop flights from Vancouver to Delhi, beginning October 20, 2016, in time for Diwali festivities. The seasonal, three-times weekly flights complement Air Canada’s Toronto-Delhi non-stop service.

Benjamin Smith, president, passenger airlines, Air Canada said, “Customer response to our Toronto-Delhi service has been positive, and with this new seasonal Vancouver route, we are strategically increasing our presence in the important Asia-Pacific market in time for Diwali festival celebrations. Our non-stop Dreamliner flights from our Vancouver hub will also offer the shortest elapsed flying time from Calgary, Edmonton, Seattle, Portland, and Los Angeles to Delhi.”

“The cultural ties between India and British Columbia reach back 100 years, and with increasing trade and investment links, those ties are growing stronger every year. Air Canada’s new Vancouver-Delhi route reflects the increasing importance of our relationship with India,” commented Premier Christy Clark.

Flights will operate three-times-weekly from October 20, 2016 to April 8, 2017 with Air Canada’s Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft featuring 30 international business class lie-flat pod suites, 21 premium economy, and 247 economy class seats with upgraded in-flight entertainment at every seat throughout the aircraft.

 

Gary Comerford, President and CEO, Canada-India Business Council said, “The Canada-India Business Council is thrilled to hear that Air Canada will be offering yet another direct service to India from Vancouver. These direct routes facilitate speedy travel for those considering and currently doing business in India.”
