Air Canada has launched non-stop flights between Vancouver and Singapore, marking its return to the Singaporean market after 30 years. The flights, operated with Boeing 787-9 aircraft, are the airline's longest by distance, covering nearly 13,000km. The route aims to strengthen collaboration between Canada and Singapore in various sectors.
SINGAPORE - For the first time since 1991, Air Canada has returned to Singapore , with flights to and from Vancouver in western Canada starting on April 4. Air Canada ’s non-stop flight from Vancouver arrived at Changi Airport on April 4 at 7.36am, and the flight in the opposite direction left at 9.50am.
In February 2023, SIA announced that its last non-stop flight between Singapore and Vancouver would be on Sept 30, 2023. Speaking to The Straits Times, Mr Rheault said: “We have analysed the market; we think there is good potential. It’s a growing market too, because of all the growing relationships between the region and Canada.”He also cited Air Canada’s partnership with SIA as a key one, adding that a code-share agreement between both airlines allows ease of connectivity and access to both carriers’ networks.
Some 153,000 Canadians visited Singapore in 2023, and they were a good mix of travellers on “business, leisure, visiting friends and families, and students”, she added.
