North America, a booming aviation market, has a demand of nearly 5,600 passengers per day, each way, from Mumbai and its catchment area, growing at 8% CAGR. This service will be the only non-stop connection to Canada from Mumbai while it will be the 3rd non-stop flight connection on the Mumbai-North America route, after United Airlines and Air India.

In FY2017, Mumbai including its catchment area, registered over 4, 11,000 passengers to Canada with a robust three year CAGR of 11%, of which 2, 60,000 are direct passengers to Toronto growing at a three year CAGR of 10% annually.

Facilitating non-stop flights to and from the financial capital of India further strengthens the foundation of city’s rapidly developing trade and commerce relationship with countries around the globe.
