To benefit passengers and businesses, Canada is focusing on expanding existing air transport relationships to launch more flight options and routings.

Canada Transport Minister Omar Alghabra said: “The expanded air transport agreement between Canada and India is a positive development for air transport relations between our countries.

“We are pleased to expand this relationship with additional flexibility for airlines to serve this growing market.

“By making the movement of goods and people faster and easier, this expanded agreement will continue to facilitate trade and investment between Canada and India and help our businesses grow and succeed.”
