Overview
- Air India resumed ten weekly Toronto–New Delhi flights on Saturday by deploying a factory‑fresh Boeing 787‑9, restoring daily service and introducing its newest cabin product to Canada.
- The airline will launch a three‑times‑weekly nonstop Mumbai–Toronto service from October 25, 2026 through March 26, 2027, making Air India the only carrier with a direct link between those two cities.
- Air India’s Winter 2026–27 plan increases Canada–India frequency to 20 weekly flights — 10 Toronto–Delhi, three Toronto–Mumbai and seven Vancouver–Delhi — adding about 4,400 seats per month.
- Operational improvements include the earlier removal of a technical fuel stop in Vienna, which now allows true nonstop Delhi–Toronto flights and cuts roughly three hours off journey times.
- The moves form part of Tata‑era fleet and cabin upgrades that expand premium capacity, shorten travel times for the large Indian‑origin community and position Air India to compete more strongly on long‑haul North America routes.
