Air India adds Mumbai–Toronto route as IndiGo exits wide-body operations
Air India will launch a seasonal Mumbai–Toronto service on October 25, 2026, operating three times weekly through March 26, 2027. The move lifts its India–Canada schedule to 20 weekly flights for Winter 2026–27 as IndiGo returns six leased Boeing 787-9s and ends wide-body flying.
Air India will launch a seasonal Mumbai-Toronto route from October 2026 and expand Canada capacity as IndiGo ends leased wide-body operations, temporarily giving the Tata airline near-monopoly status among Indian carriers for nonstop long-haul wide-body flights.
Why this matters
The launch extends Air India's recent Canada expansion. Prior signals covered seasonal Mumbai–Toronto service, Delhi flight upgrades with a new Dreamliner, and added Canada capacity for winter 2026–27.
