Further, the DEL-YYZ is the <strong>10th longest route from India<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s the flight schedule:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Flight AI 187 departs from DEL at 2:55 and arrives at YYZ at 7:45 the same day after staying airborne for 15 hrs and 20 mins.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The return flight AI 188 departs YYZ at 11:55 and arrives at DEL at 12:00 the next day after 13 hrs and 35 mins.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Note: <\/strong>All times mentioned here are local time<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, from <strong>September 1, 2024<\/strong>, Air India will operate <strong>three additional weekly flights<\/strong> on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays.

It&#8217;s simple, remember Air India has announced the deployment of its brand new Airbus A350s to London Heathrow (LHR) from September 1, 2024. This coincides with these additional flights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So the freed-up 777-300ER will be utilized to operate 3x weekly flights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/wijommnc-1024x576.webp\" alt=\"Air India 777-300ER\" class=\"wp-image-68586\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/wijommnc-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/wijommnc-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/wijommnc-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/wijommnc-50x28.webp 50w, https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/wijommnc-150x84.webp 150w, https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/wijommnc-450x253.webp 450w, https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/wijommnc-1200x675.webp 1200w, https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/wijommnc.webp 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Utkarsh Thakkar (Vimanspotter)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-double-daily-from-november\">Double Daily from November<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Again from <strong>November 4, 2024<\/strong>, the only Indian carrier serving North America will operate <strong>four additional weekly flights<\/strong> on days that are missed in weeks, i.e. on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.

This will free up 777-300ERs correctly serving this route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, once Air India gets more A350s and 777Xs, it will strengthen its existing long-haul network with older aircraft. Subsequently, it will utilize new aircraft in high-demand routes and fly to new destinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/index.php\/2024\/05\/20\/where-air-india-fly-airbus-a350s-exclusive\/\">Where Could Air India Fly its Airbus A350s? | Exclusive &#8211; Aviation A2Z<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From January 2, 2025, Air India will also operate the Delhi-Newark (EWR) route with A350s.

Daily passenger numbers rose from 660 to 1,045, establishing the route as one of the fastest-growing long-haul markets globally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This growth stems from India-Canada migration policies implemented since 2017, including free healthcare and work permits for Indian graduates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While most passengers still transit through Europe, the US, and the Middle East, direct services are expanding.
