Air Canada will celebrate Canada 150 with a little international flair and is preparing to launch its new year-round, four-times weekly, nonstop Toronto-Mumbai, India service on Canada Day, July 1st. The flight, operated on Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft, will be the only non-stop flight from Canada to India's largest city.
"Air Canada is always excited to launch a new route and this is particularly gratifying given Mumbai is India's largest city and regarded as its financial, commercial and entertainment capital." said Benjamin Smith, president, passenger airlines at Air Canada. "This flight is the third route we have started to India in less than two years, demonstrating our commitment to this vibrant market as well to our continuing international expansion strategy. This is the only non-stop service between Canada and Mumbai and positions Air Canada as offering the best coverage of any carrier operating between Canada and India."
"We commend Air Canada on this path-breaking initiative. In a globalized world, connectivity matters and non-stop flights facilitate closer business ties and people-to-people contact." said Kasi Rao, president & CEO of the Canada-India Business Council. "The promise of the Canada-India economic relationship is materially advanced with this non-stop flight connecting two global cities - Toronto and Mumbai. We will play our part in promoting this terrific linkage."
This is Air Canada's third route to India, which also includes year-round daily Toronto-Delhi service and seasonal Vancouver-Delhi service, which resumes in October with an increase from three weekly flights to five.
The schedule for Air Canada's new Toronto-Mumbai service, which will operate year-round on Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft, is as follows...
- AC046 will depart Toronto Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays at 9:35 PM and arrive in Mumbai at 9:30 PM the next day.
- On the return, AC047 will depart Mumbai on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays at 11:30 PM, arriving in Toronto at 5:10 AM the next day.
