Air India is expanding its international flight network through the introduction of new non-stop services.

In October 2026, the airline commenced a seasonal non-stop service between Mumbai and Toronto, operating three times weekly through March 2027. This route utilizes Boeing 777-300ER aircraft featuring upgraded cabin interiors, including First Class suites with privacy doors, and provides an alternative for travelers on the India-Canada corridor. The service adds approximately 2,000 seats per week and facilitates connections to other Indian cities such as Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, and Kochi.

Additionally, the airline announced plans to launch a non-stop service between Delhi and Osaka starting February 2, 2027. Operating four weekly flights with Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner aircraft, this expansion aims to meet rising tourism demand between India and Japan.
