Air Canada to Launch Non-Stop Flights Between
Vancouver and Singapore
(15/06/23)
Air Canada has unveiled plans to launch non-stop
flights between its trans-Pacific hub at Vancouver International
Airport (YVR) and Changi International Airport (SIN) in Singapore.
The new route is scheduled to take off with four
flights per week beginning 3 April 2024, using Boeing 787
Dreamliner aircraft configured with three cabins of service:
Signature Class with
lie-flat seats, Premium Economy and Economy Class.
"We
are committed to growing YVR as a premier trans-Pacific hub and
Singapore is a top global financial centre, a multicultural
destination that offers an abundance of tourism and food
experiences, as well as an important gateway to beyond
destinations in Southeast Asia, Southern India and Western
Australia," said Mark Galardo, Executive Vice President, Revenue and Network
Planning at Air Canada. "Our newest flight will be equally
appreciated by international business travellers, as well as those
seeking an exciting holiday destination, or simply visiting
friends and family. Customers can now begin planning their next
trip to Singapore."
The
schedule has been built to conveniently connect to and from
destinations across North America via Air Canada's hub at YVR and,
in Singapore to and from destinations across Southeast Asia, South
India & Western Australia with Star Alliance and codeshare partner
Singapore Airlines.

"We are thrilled to welcome Air Canada as it makes
its much-anticipated return to Singapore Changi Airport after more
than three decades. The link to Canada is strategically
significant for Changi as point-to-point travel between the two
countries has shown strong recovery, with passenger traffic
surpassing 80% of pre-COVID19 levels in the first quarter of
2023," said Lim Ching Kiat, Executive Vice President for Air
Hub & Cargo Development at Changi Airport Group. "The
resumption of the Vancouver-Singapore service strengthens the
connectivity between Canada and Asia, and will facilitate growth
in both business and leisure travel. From Changi Airport,
travellers can easily connect via more than 1,800 weekly services
to over 55 cities in the region such as those in Southeast Asia,
India and Australia. We are excited about the renewed partnership
with Air Canada and look forward to providing travellers from
Singapore and Southeast Asia the convenience of non-stop travel to
Vancouver and further, to popular North American destinations like
Toronto, Chicago and Washington."
Air Canada's international onboard
services showcase some of Canada's best culinary talent through
the airline's panel of celebrated chefs, comprising
Vancouver-based chefs David Hawksworth and Vikram Vij, and
renowned Montreal chef Jérôme Ferrer. Wines are chosen by leading Canadian
sommelier, Véronique Rivest.
