Air India will launch a new seasonal Mumbai-Toronto route with three weekly flights from October 25, 2026, running through March 26, 2027, the airline announced on Saturday, August 2, 2026.
The route will initially be operated by upgraded Boeing 777-300ER aircraft featuring redesigned cabins, with eight First Class suites with privacy doors, 40 fully flat Business Class seats and 280 Economy Class seats, along with onboard WiFi.
The new service adds nearly 2,000 seats a week between India and Canada, and will transition to Air India’s newer Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners from January 2027 as more of the aircraft join the fleet.
Alongside the new route, Air India has begun deploying brand-new Boeing 787-9 aircraft on its existing Delhi-Toronto service, with seven of its 10 weekly Delhi-Toronto flights now flown by the Dreamliner this winter.
Air India chief commercial officer Nipun Aggarwal said Canada ‘remains one of Air India’s most significant international markets because of strong people-to-people ties,’ adding that the new route and aircraft deployment reflect the airline’s commitment to strengthening its North American presence.
With the expansion, Air India’s total weekly India-Canada capacity will rise to 20 flights for the winter 2026-27 season, alongside a 71% increase in premium seat availability and about 4,400 additional monthly seats.
The winter 2026-27 network expansion takes Air India’s total weekly India-Canada capacity to 20 flights, alongside a 71% increase in premium seat availability and about 4,400 additional monthly seats.
Air India already operates 10 weekly Delhi-Toronto flights, seven of which are being flown by the new Boeing 787-9 this winter, with the remaining three switching from the 777-300ER to the Dreamliner from January 2027.
By January 2027, Air India expects all of its Toronto services from both Delhi and Mumbai to be operated with new or freshly upgraded cabin interiors across both aircraft types.
