Key Takeaways:

Air India will add a new route to Canada this winter while upgrading an existing connection with the Boeing 787 Dreamliner.

The carrier announced it will launch nonstop flights between Mumbai and Toronto on Oct. 25. The service will operate three times weekly through March 26, 2027, using 777-300ER aircraft.

Air India said it will be the only airline in the world connecting the two cities.

Dreamliner Upgrade

The carrier is also growing capacity on its existing Delhi-Toronto route with the introduction of the 787-9.

Airline officials said the type entered service on the roughly 7,200-mile connection on Aug. 1.

This winter, seven of the 10 weekly flights between Delhi and Toronto will operate with the 787. The other three weekly flights will transition from the 777-300ER to the 787 in January 2027.

Air India said these changes will increase overall capacity between India and Canada by 4,400 seats each month this winter.
