Air Canada’s Delhi service increased before launch

By

Air Canada, which will start its nonstop Toronto to Delhi service on November 1, has already announced their intention to increase its frequency from an initial four times per week to a daily flight from the end of October 2016.

This is the first route for the airline that will be serviced using the new Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners. The airline already has eight 787-8 models and will take delivery of 29 of the 787-9s by 2019. The new larger aircraft are more economical to operate, enabling airlines to enhance their route options and provide a wider variety of services for passengers.

Air Canada has designed the schedule of this new route to enable passengers to make connections across North America once they arrive in Toronto. It will also allow those travelling to vacation rentals in Delhi and across India and South East Asia to connect using regional airlines such as Air India.

The new 787 Dreamliners on the Air Canada fleet feature three cabin options. This includes the new lie-flat seats in the international business class cabin and a more advanced in-flight entertainment system for all passengers.

Air Canada is looking to grow its international presence and enhance the offerings it provides to passengers from its Toronto hub. The announcement that this new route is being expanded even before its official launch date shows the demand that there is for more services between North America and the Asian sub-continent.

The delivery of the new Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner to British Airways will see greater exclusivity for first class passengers, providing them with an enhanced level of service. The first of the new aircraft will arrive in September.

The first passengers to take advantage of the new service could well include vacationers flying to luxury rentals in Delhi from October 25, when the new 787-9 Dreamliner will start flying the London to Delhi route.

The current 787-8 Dreamliner doesn’t provide first class facilities. However, with an additional 20 feet in length, the 787-9 has space for eight first class seats. The new suites in first class were designed specifically for this aircraft using feedback from existing passengers. The suites feature four enhanced storage areas for the convenience of the passengers, including a new ottoman, a personal suiter, and a locker complete with a mirror.

Passengers can also use the state-of-the-art in-flight entertainment system. The handset has been redesigned and resembles the style and features of a smartphone for ease of use. Travelers will have the ability to watch something through the handset, such as the flight map, and then use the fixed screen to watch a film or music video.

The 787s are set to become the driving force behind the airline, with a further 41 expected to be delivered. They are British Airways? most technologically advanced planes, providing style and sophistication as well as a smooth and comfortable environment.
