Air India to Launch Non-Stop Delhi-Toronto Flights with Boeing 787-9 from August
Air India will operate non-stop flights between Delhi and Toronto starting August 1, 2026, by deploying its new Boeing 787-9 aircraft. This will eliminate the current fuel stop in Vienna, reducing travel time by nearly three hours to about 17 hours. The airline will restore daily services on this route, increasing from five weekly flights. The Boeing 787-9 features a three-class cabin with Business, Premium Economy, and Economy classes, introducing Premium Economy on this route for the first time. The changes are subject to airspace availability.
