Air Canada has introduced new non-stop flights from Vancouver to Delhi, India, beginning Oct. 20 in time for Diwali festivities.

The seasonal, three-times weekly flights complement Air Canada’s Toronto-Delhi non-stop service launched last fall. To promote the new Vancouver route, Air Canada is offering special introductory fares starting as low as $999 round trip, all-in. Tickets are now available for purchase.

“Customer response to our Toronto-Delhi service has been extremely positive, and with this new seasonal Vancouver route, we are strategically increasing our presence in the important Asia-Pacific market in time for Diwali festival celebrations. Our non-stop Dreamliner flights from our Vancouver hub will also offer the shortest elapsed flying time from Calgary, Edmonton, Seattle, Portland and Los Angeles to Delhi,” said Benjamin Smith, president, Passenger Airlines at Air Canada.

Flights will operate three-times-weekly Oct. 20 to April 8, 2017 with Air Canada’s Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft.
