Air Canada first began serving India in 2015, with nonstop flights to Toronto from Delhi. The flag carrier of Canada operates flights from Toronto and Vancouver to Delhi and from Toronto to Mumbai. The airline states that it is planning to launch new non-stop flights from Montreal to Delhi and resume service to Mumbai as ‘market conditions allow’.
Meanwhile, Air Canada recently announced resumption of 17 international routes and also inaugurated a new route between Montreal and Cairo. The airline has also launched a simplified solution to upload COVID-19 related travel documents. Air Canada has announced that it will have up to 220 daily flights between Canada and the United States as Canada is reopening to fully vaccinated Americans in August. The airline has also announced two new routes to Florida and increased flights to Mexico and the Dominican Republic from Quebec City and has introduced mandatory COVID-19 vaccination policy for all employees and new hires. Air Canada has also resumed flying from Toronto’s Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport with 5 daily flights to Montreal. Air Canada Rouge has also resumed flying.
