Air Canada senior vice president network planning and revenue management, Mark Galardo, said: “we continue to be focused on the growing visiting friends and relatives market together with the long-standing cultural and business ties between Canada and India that are expected to grow in the coming years, Air Canada remains strongly committed to this important Asia-Pacific market." The Canadian carrier started flying to India in 2015 with services from Toronto and Vancouver to Delhi and from Toronto to Mumbai. It had been planning to launch the non-stop Montreal-Delhi flights and resume service to Mumbai as market conditions allowed. Transport Canada said travellers eligible to fly from India to Canada must have proof of a negative COVID-19 molecular test from an approved Genestrings Laboratory at Delhi airport taken within 18 hours of their scheduled flight departures. Airline staff will check the test results and ensure fully vaccinated travellers have uploaded their information to the ArriveCAN mobile app or website.
