Air Canada to end daily flights to India

Citing insufficient demand for the Canada-India route, the Air Canada has announced plans to discontinue its daily flights to India starting in May. Canada's leading carrier currently offers one daily flight from Toronto to New Delhi, with a stopover in Zurich, but it has been unable to break even on the route, particularly during the summer. "Our financial goals were not met because of the seasonal nature of traffic to New Delhi, which did not enable us to maintain profitable occupancy levels throughout the entire year," Air Canada spokesman John Reber said. He added: "We have tried several times over the past 20 years to make service between Canada and India work, ... but unfortunately we haven't found the right formula yet."
