The Tata Group-owned Air India has announced that it will operate daily flights between Delhi and Vancouver, Canada from August 31. Presently, Air India’s Vancouver flights operate three times per week. Frequency on this route has been increased keeping in view the growing traffic between India and Canada and has been enabled by the return to service of the wide-body Boeing 777-300 ER aircraft.
To expand its network, Air India has planned to induct wide-body aircraft into its fleet. “The Vancouver frequency enhancement caters to growing traffic between India and Canada and has been enabled by the return to service of the widebody Boeing 777-300 extended range aircraft with three class configurations of first, business and economy. Going forward, a total of 10 grounded aircrafts will be brought back into service by early 2023,” said the airline in a statement.
“We are pleased to mark this significant milestone, and the team at Air India is hard at work to enable more expansion in the near future.”
— Campbell Wilson, Air India’s new MD and CEO
Air India’s new MD and CEO Campbell Wilson, said in a statement, “This increase in our frequency between Delhi and Vancouver is very welcome for many reasons. It is another sign of recovery from the pandemic and caters to strong customer demand. More importantly, it marks the first step in restoring Air India’s fleet and international network. We are pleased to mark this significant milestone, and the team at Air India is hard at work to enable more expansion in the near future.”
