Air Canada has just launched direct flights from Singapore to
Vancouver, becoming the sole airline offering non-stop service between
the two cities. This milestone route spans approximately 12,818
kilometres, marking Air Canada's longest flight to date, with a flight
duration of around 14 hours and 40 minutes.
“These new Singapore flights are part of our strategic expansion at
YVR which, together with an efficient and seamless in-transit connection
process, further position the airport as the preferred North American
gateway to Asia,” said Mark Galardo, executive vice president, revenue
and network planning, at Air Canada.
Changi Airport in Singapore also welcomed the new route, anticipating
increased travel between Singapore and Canada, as well as improved
access for Singaporeans to North American cities. The collaboration with
Air Canada is expected to boost passenger traffic through Changi
Airport.
