Air India Launches Non-Stop Delhi-Toronto Flights with Boeing 787-9
Air India is starting new flights from Delhi to Toronto without any stops.
They will use their new Boeing 787-9 planes, which are faster and more comfortable.
This means the trip will take about 17 hours instead of 20 hours.
The planes have special seats and lots of entertainment.
Air India is also adding more flights to this route every day.
They had to stop some flights before because fuel was too expensive, but now they are back to daily flights.
The new planes have three types of seats: Business, Premium Economy, and regular Economy.
Business seats are like private rooms with big TVs, and Premium Economy has extra space.
Everyone on the plane will have lots of things to watch and do during the flight.
Air India will operate non-stop Delhi-Toronto flights starting August 1, 2026, using Boeing 787-9 aircraft.
The new route eliminates the fuel stop in Vienna, reducing travel time from 20 hours to 17 hours.
Air India will restore daily operations on the route, increasing frequency from five weekly flights.
The Boeing 787-9 features a three-class cabin configuration with 30 Business Class suites, 28 Premium Economy seats, and 238 Economy seats.
The new aircraft offers enhanced travel experience with advanced inflight entertainment, comfortable seating, and upgraded amenities.
