Air Canada Boosting India Capacity by 40% This Winter; Announces Direct Toronto-Mumbai Flights

Air Canada is giving its India service a significant boost, a move that will no doubt be welcomed by the Indian diaspora in Canada.

Air Canada today announced the strategic expansion of its international network to India, adding 40% more seat capacity beginning late October for the Winter 2024-25 season.

Highlights of the carrier’s new services include the only non-stop flights from Canada to India’s financial capital, Mumbai, improved service from Western Canada to Delhi with the introduction of new seasonal daily flights via London Heathrow, and daily flights from Montreal to Delhi. In total, Air Canada will operate 25 weekly flights to India, the most comprehensive offering of any carrier between Canada and India.

Seats on all flights are available for purchase now at aircanada.com, via the Air Canada App and through travel agents.

“India is an important market for Air Canada, reflecting longstanding and growing family and trade ties between our two countries,” said Mark Galardo, Executive Vice President Revenue and Network Planning at Air Canada. “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.”
