Air Canada will launch non-stop flights between its trans-Pacific hub at Vancouver International Airport (YVR) and Singapore's Changi International Airport (SIN) beginning April 3, 2024. The new route will operate four times weekly onboard AC's flagship Dreamliner fleet. Seats are available for purchase now.

"We are committed to growing YVR as a premier trans-Pacific hub, and Singapore is a top global financial centre, a multicultural destination that offers an abundance of tourism and food experiences, as well as an important gateway to beyond destinations in Southeast Asia, Southern India and Western Australia," Galardo added.
