Thus, he believes that the reintroduction of the Vancouver-Singapore service “strengthens the connectivity between Canada and Asia”.
It will also help to “facilitate growth in both business and leisure travel”.
Air Canada also stated that it sees Singapore as “an important gateway to beyond destinations in Southeast Asia, Southern India and Western Australia”.
Thus, these new direct flights will provide greater convenience and comfort for travellers between Canada and Singapore.
With the launch of these new direct flights, those dreadful stopovers will finally be a worry no more.
While waiting for the official launch of these direct flights, perhaps it’ll be a good time to start planning your next trip to Canada.
