Have a look at our customers’ excitement at the inaugural celebration of our first flight to Delhi (DEL) from our YVR trans-Pacific hub.

"We are delighted to inaugurate our second route between Canada and India right in time for Diwali celebrations. Our non-stop flights from our Asia-Pacific Vancouver hub feature 787-9 Dreamliner service and offer the shortest elapsed flying time from Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Seattle, Portland and Los Angeles to the Indian subcontinent", said Benjamin Smith, President, Passenger Airlines at Air Canada.
