Air Canada will launch its first nonstop service to Southeast Asia next winter, the only one between North America and Thailand.

Flights to Bangkok will be even more convenient with seamless connectivity to the extensive domestic and cross-border route network, offering customers greater choice in their travels, Air Canada’s SVP added.
The Indian market remains very important to Air Canada, and so Air Canada is also eager to resume currently paused non-stop flights on the Toronto-Mumbai and Vancouver-Delhi routes as soon as circumstances permit, and looks forward to returning to India, with Mumbai as its largest city, a major commercial and entertainment hub, complementing the 13 weekly flights from Canada to Delhi. Flights to Mumbai will be operated with a stopover at London Heathrow, connecting to more than a dozen flights operated by Air Canada and Star Alliance partner United Airlines between North America and London, as well as an additional option to travel between the U.K. and India.
