@@haridas78 there’s soooo many Indian international students in Canada over the past few years, it definitely makes sense. Go to any medium or large Canadian city and you’ll notice how much the demographics have changed.
AC’s first India service was back in the late 80s using an L1011 flying YYZ-LHR-BOM and onward to SIN. Ultimately BOM-SIN was ended and varying on and off service since has been to DEL via LHR on 747s and in this century on 777s and 787s.
I flew this route a couple weeks ago, although I made a booking just to go to London. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw that my gate said Delhi and not London
On arrival in Heathrow - what happens? Do you get off the plane, lounge in a seat less comortable than the plane seat, then get back aboard in the same seat? Can you leave hand luggage on the seat?
@AbdullahNajib-b9z I love Boeing, they have some of the best planes, but I hate this anti airbus bias caused by people like you just because you can't stop coping that Boeing is on fire right now! I might love boeing due to their planes but I absolutely hate the money hungry murders that control it
Some correction. The YYZ-BOM non-stop service is starting on 6th Dec and not on 1st Dec. Also on return BOM-YYZ there will be technical haul at FRA. Also, this route will be completed with Boing 787-9 and not 777-200 until Feb 2025.
I don't care who flies there, how many segments or what the cost is. You couldn't pay me to go to India again. Bald & Bankrupt's latest report from India hit the nail on the head.
This only makes sense because the Russian airspace is closed for Western airlines. The direct YYC-DEL is 460 nautical miles shorter, but it crosses Russia. Non-stop flights into North America by Indian or Chinese airlines should be banned: they're allowed to fly over Russia, saving thousands of dollars.
This is less to do with Russian airspace and more to do with the runway length and altitude in Calgary. The 787 can’t fly all the way with the weight restriction imposed these factors.
Canada chooses to sanction Russia. Why ban Indian and Chinese airliners because of YOUR choice? Choice has consequence. Or you call this unfair play because Canada is more DemOCraTic 😅 than India and China. Go woke go broke dude
@@JayJayAviation That's not correct: Even if YYC were at zero altitude, a direct great-circle flight to DEL is impossible. You have to re-route through Northern Europe (LHR) or Eastern Asia (HND or ICN) to avoid Russian airspace. LHR seems to be the right choice.
@@wickedpawn5437 while it’s true that a direct flight can’t be done due to Russian airspace restrictions, it’s not the primary reason for the stop in LHR. The stop in LHR would have to happen whether or not Russian airspace was available. The 787 still wouldn’t be able to reach DEL direct due to YYC’s altitude.
Instead of going through the hassle of London Heathrow, a better option is to fly to Vancouver and fly Air India direct from Vancouver to Delhi. Vancouver hardly sees any weather related disruptions year round.
Do Indians who come here have their work visas sponsored or handled by their potential Canadian employer? I've seen Indian truck drivers who are abused by their indocanadian employers multiple times.
@@juliogonzo2718 The rules are currently being changed and yes abuse of employees is rampant here under both the Temporary Worker programs and the conventional immigration paths. So sad!

Considering the current relationship between Indian and Canadian governments its a surprise
That was my first thought when I was watching the video.
Haven't you seen how many Indians, especially international students are in Canada now? Its honestly not surprising in the least...
In my 34 year life the makeup of nationalities in Canada has noticeably changed. Not saying it’s good or bad just Air Canada knows the market.

Money...
1.2 million Indian nationals have their temporary Canadian residency visas set to expire next year. So lots of CA to India traffic expected.
Good bye>>>>>>>>>>
@@christopherescott6787 Prices once they leave gon be crazy💀💀
They won’t want to leave lol gotta deport them
Wait what? Where did you get this info from?
Adios!!! No one will miss them.

Not shocking considering the huge South Asian community in Alberta which includes the mayors of both Edmonton and Calgary.
Loved the video. Another way Air Canada is spreading the flag 🎉
Thanks for keeping lots of Canadian content 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
Thanks for pronouncing Calgary correctly!
Is there more than one way to pronounce Calgary?
@@johnarnold893there’s “cal-gary” then there’s “calgry” the later being how locals and more Canadians in general pronounce it

Awesome to see a new Freedom Route added to Air Canada’s route network!
@@DreamlinerFan2016 Ah yes, more opportunities for AC to lose my luggage.
Do the passengers stay on the plane or get to stretch their legs during the london connection ?
Go air Canada! You might suck but at least you got some good planes
(admits boeing is awesome)

@@Plab1402 Air Canada is decent. Not the greatest but not bad either. I would be fine with taking them, I’d just choose Porter first.
@AbdullahNajib-b9z i love the planes, but hate the money hungry murderers that control it 😒
despite the fact the relations between canada and india are frosy at best....

Exciting development.
Air Canada confirms to order Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner Fleet!

Calgary has runways plenty long enough. 14000 ft runway made of concrete. 12675 and 8000 ft made of asphalt.
is this true 5th freedom where Air Canada can sell its inferior service to a British national boarding in London to India?
Why fly from Calgary then go east instead of flying west? Or does this route exist?
Strategic move
End the ridiculous sanctions on Russia so that routes such as this one could operate nonstop flying over Russian airspace.
What does the U.K get in return for fifth freedom rights for Air Canada?
Hopefully Ottawa gets a direct flights to India via London Heathrow to Delhi and Mumbai.
1:43 can't fly over RuZZia
why not yow-lhr-del??
I love how AC is operating 5th freedom flights, hopefully there is more to come out of YYZ
This is the last thing Calgary or Canada needs, yet another non-stop route to India.
Instead of going through the hassle of London Heathrow, a better option is to fly to Vancouver and fly Air India direct from Vancouver to Delhi. Vancouver hardly sees any weather related disruptions year round.
Entire middle class India want to immigrate to Canada. So this flight is good for them .
We don't need any more immigrants . Canada has enough issues without importing more of what our economy cannot absorb.
Do Indians who come here have their work visas sponsored or handled by their potential Canadian employer? I've seen Indian truck drivers who are abused by their indocanadian employers multiple times.
Canada has been flooded for 9 years with foreigners. We do NOT need them. Canadians need to clean up our house before any more arrive.
