Non-stop flights to Canada resume

Canada required travellers from India to do a RT-PCR in a third country before giving them access.

Air India and Air Canada are resuming their flights from Delhi to Toronto and Vancouver with easing of entry restrictions by the North American country. While Air Canada's first departure from Delhi will be on Wednesday, Air India is yet to announce its schedule but has informed Delhi airport about its plan to start flights from Sunday.

Canada earlier required travellers from India to do a RT-PCR in a third country before giving them access.

Air Canada will only accept RT-PCR or a rapid PCR test taken no more than 18 hours before departure from a testing centre at Delhi airport.
