Air Canada to end daily flights to India

     Washington: 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," The Nation quoted Air Canada spokesman John Reber as saying in an interview with an international news agency. 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."
