Air Canada to start new non-stop service from Montreal to Delhi

Air Canada has confirmed it will launch a new year-round, non-stop route between Montreal and Delhi to start at the end of the month. The Canadian carrier will also add more flights to its Indian services from Toronto as demand for connections between the two countries increases.

Air Canada will offer three flights per week to the growing Indian community in Montreal, with the flights operating on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday. The airline has scheduled the service to be flown by Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft with a configuration of 298 seats over the three cabins, made up of 30 lie-flat seats in Business Class, 21 seats in Premium Economy and 247 in the airline's standard economy cabin. 

The Panasonic eX3 is Air Canada’s latest generation in-flight entertainment system that is fitted to the 787-9 Dreamliner fleet. It features enhanced-definition touch screens at every seat including an advanced-intuitive interface that is easy and pleasant to navigate. And for your own entertainment, it boasts a high-quality audio-video on-demand player, an interactive moving map and games, as well as new sections to let you learn more about Air Canada’s destinations, products and services.

"The Canada-India market is an important and strategic one for Air Canada. These additional flights and new route demonstrate Air Canada's anticipation about the promise and growth of the Indian subcontinent– and we also look forward to further strengthening the cultural and business ties between our two countries," said Mark Galardo, Senior Vice President, Network Planning and Revenue Management at Air Canada. "Today's announcement also confirms Air Canada's commitment to growing its main hubs of Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal, with convenient non-stop service to India from each hub. Air Canada is the only carrier offering a direct service to Delhi out of Montreal, allowing for easy connections through our extensive network. We continue to focus on the growing visiting friends and relatives market and this capacity expansion is a response to increasing demand."

As the leading carrier between the two countries, Air Canada offers daily flights from Vancouver, up to ten flights a week from Toronto and three flights a week from Montreal. The airline's service to Mumbai will resume when conditions permit.
