Ms. Meenakshi Mallik, Director – Commercial, Air India said: “Air India is continuously working towards providing convenience to travelers & with this enhanced cooperation with our long standing partner Sri Lankan Airlines, travelers will now have seamless connections between Canada & Sri Lanka through Delhi Airport”.
Travelers will now have the opportunity to book their entire journey in one go, which they were earlier unable to do. The non-stop flight from Toronto’s Lester B. Pearson International Airport to New Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport is supported by rapid connectivity to Colombo with connection times of just 4 hours for Colombo-Delhi-Toronto and 6 hours for Toronto-Delhi-Colombo. Flights operate on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays both to and from Toronto.
