- Air India launched three weekly Toronto–Mumbai flights on October 25, 2026, for the winter season.
- The service is scheduled to run through March 26, 2027; a year-round continuation has not been confirmed.
- With Air Canada’s Toronto–Mumbai and Calgary–Delhi routes not expected to return in 2027, Alberta travellers need connecting itineraries.
Air India began seasonal Toronto–Mumbai flights on October 25, 2026, giving Canada–India travellers a winter option as Air Canada’s Toronto–Mumbai and Calgary–Delhi services via Heathrow are reported not to return in 2027.
The new service links Toronto Pearson and Mumbai three times weekly. It is scheduled through March 26, 2027; a continuation after that date has not been established.
The former Air Canada routes were seasonal, with passengers travelling through London Heathrow.
When the India routes ended
Free toolCanada Express Entry Points CalculatorThe Toronto–Mumbai service last operated in March 2026. The other affected route linked Calgary and Delhi through Heathrow, so its departure leaves Alberta travellers without that one-airline itinerary.
The wider network cuts also include Montréal–Algiers.
The Toronto–Mumbai winter service runs three days a week
The seasonal timetable is scheduled as follows:
| Route or detail | Schedule |
|---|---|
| Toronto Pearson to Mumbai, AI192 | Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays; through March 26, 2027 |
| Mumbai to Toronto, AI193 | Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays; through March 26, 2027 |
| Aircraft | Boeing 777-300ER |
Air India calls the new service non-stop. Published itinerary details include a Rome stop on the Mumbai-to-Toronto leg, so check the direction-specific itinerary before booking. The carrier has not established a year-round continuation after the winter schedule.
Calgary passengers will need a connecting itinerary
The former Calgary–Heathrow–Delhi service offered a single-airline path. Passengers departing from Alberta can compare these options:
- Connect through Toronto, where Air Canada flies nonstop to Delhi.
- Check Toronto departures to Delhi or Mumbai on Air India.
- Consider Vancouver–Delhi; the carrier’s winter programme lists seven weekly flights.
- Compare total travel time, connection points and baggage rules. A single-ticket itinerary can keep the connecting flights together on one booking.
Toronto passengers heading to Mumbai have a direct winter option on the new service. Those travelling after March 26, 2027, should check whether a later schedule is available before making plans.
Russian airspace complicated the former Heathrow routings
Restrictions on flying over Russian airspace complicated nonstop Canada–India operations, and the former services routed through Heathrow. Air Canada cited low demand as the reason it would not resume the Toronto–Mumbai route, with the Heathrow connection stop a factor in that low demand. That does not establish the airline’s specific reason for removing each route.
The seasonal Mumbai service sits within a broader winter programme between Canada and India. Air India will operate 20 weekly flights between Canada and India during the Northern Winter 2026–27 season, serving Toronto–Mumbai, Toronto–Delhi and Vancouver–Delhi.
The schedule is set to run only through March 26, 2027. Check the airline’s booking site for current flight details, especially for journeys after that date.
