Air India to Launch Non-Stop Delhi-Toronto Flights From August 1, Deploy New Boeing 787-9

Air India said the new Boeing 787-9 will cut flying time by nearly three hours and add Premium Economy on the route for the first time.

  • On August 1, 2026, Air India will deploy its new Boeing 787-9 on the Delhi-Toronto route, restoring daily non-stop service by eliminating the Vienna fuel stop.
  • Service restoration follows temporary reductions between June and July 2026, when higher fuel costs and geopolitical developments forced the airline to cut frequencies.
  • Premium Economy offers a 2-3-2 seating layout with 38-inch seat pitch and 13.3-inch screens, while the aircraft features 30 Business Class suites and 238 Economy seats.
  • "As we continue transforming Air India into a world-class global airline," Chief Executive Officer Campbell Wilson said; bookings for the upgraded service are now available through the airline's website and agents.
  • The upgrade reduces Delhi-Toronto flight time from 20 to approximately 17 hours, while the return Toronto-Delhi service maintains a non-stop flight time of up to 16 hours.
