Air Canada to resume daily flights to Beijing, increase service to Shanghai

Air Canada has announced that it will increase its service to China and resume daily flights to Beijing on January 15. The airline will also increase the number of flights from Vancouver to Shanghai to daily starting December 7.

Currently, Air Canada flies from Vancouver to Shanghai four days a week.

Mark Gallardo, Air Canada's executive vice president of revenue and network planning, said the new flights reflect the importance of these markets in Air Canada's global network.

At the peak of the 2019 summer travel season, before the outbreak of the coronavirus, Air Canada was operating a total of 35 flights a week to Beijing and Shanghai.
