AN Air Canada spokesperson told The VOICE on Thursday that flights to Delhi will resume tonight from both Toronto (AC 42 February 28) and Vancouver (AC 44 March 1 – the flight leaves just after midnight).
However, there are no flights to Mumbai scheduled for February 28, Air Canada’s Angela Mah added.
Flights to Delhi had been cancelled for Wednesday night from both Toronto (AC 42 February 27) and Vancouver (AC44 February 28) as there were no suitable alternate routings.
Because of the closure of Pakistani airspace by its government, one Air Canada flight en route to Delhi on Tuesday night (February 26) turned back over the Atlantic Ocean and returned to Toronto on Wednesday, while a second flight from Vancouver to Delhi that was to depart on Tuesday night was cancelled.
