“Customer response to our announcement of non-stop Dreamliner service between Toronto and Delhi has been very positive,” said Benjamin Smith, President, Passenger Airlines, at Air Canada. “Air Canada’s strategy to grow our Toronto Pearson hub and international presence will continue to gain momentum as we continue to take delivery of Boeing 787 Dreamliners which are revolutionizing long-haul air travel. The operating economics of these new aircraft make this service feasible and it will be the first route dedicated to the larger, 787-9 version of this aircraft which will begin entering our fleet later this summer.”
The four-times-weekly flights beginning November 1, 2015, will be operated with Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft featuring Air Canada’s award-winning, three-cabin service, including the next generation lie-flat seat in International Business Class, a Premium Economy cabin, and enhanced seatback In-Flight Entertainment system available at every seat throughout the aircraft. Flights provide for Aeroplan accumulation and redemption and, for eligible customers, priority check-in, Maple Leaf Lounge access in Toronto, priority boarding and other benefits.
