Air travel between India and Canada is witnessing a major change as Air Canada has decided not to restore its Toronto–Mumbai service in 2027. The development comes as Air India expands its international network with seasonal nonstop flights connecting Mumbai and Toronto, giving passengers a direct travel option between the two major cities.
The change is particularly important for Indian travellers, business professionals and families who frequently travel between Canada and India.
Air Canada Decides Against Restoring Mumbai Flights
Air Canada’s Toronto–Mumbai service last operated in March 2026. The airline previously operated the journey through London’s Heathrow Airport using Boeing 787 aircraft.
However, the carrier has now decided against bringing back the Mumbai connection in 2027 as it reviews its international flight network and aircraft deployment.
Air Canada will continue operating year-round nonstop flights between Toronto and Delhi, along with seasonal connectivity between Montreal and Delhi.
Air India Offers Nonstop Mumbai–Toronto Flights
Air India launched its seasonal Mumbai–Toronto nonstop service . The flights operate three times a week on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays.
The service is scheduled to continue until March 26, 2027.
The airline is using Boeing 777-300ER aircraft featuring:
- 8 First Class suites
- 40 Business Class seats
- 280 Economy Class seats
Passengers will also have access to onboard Wi-Fi connectivity on the upgraded aircraft.
Flight Timings for Mumbai–Toronto Route
The Mumbai–Toronto service operates under flight number AI193, departing Mumbai at 4:00 AM and arriving in Toronto at 10:00 AM local time.
The return flight, AI192, departs Toronto at 12:30 PM and reaches Mumbai at 2:10 PM the following day.
The direct service eliminates the need for passengers to change planes in London during this journey.
What Does This Mean for Indian Travellers?
The new flight arrangement gives passengers a direct option between Mumbai and Toronto during the 2026–27 winter season.
Travellers planning journeys beyond March 2027 should check updated airline schedules because Air India’s current Mumbai–Toronto service is seasonal, and its continuation has not been confirmed as a year-round operation.
The latest development highlights changing competition in international aviation and Air India’s efforts to strengthen direct connectivity between India and North America.
