After 26 years, Air Canada has officially resumed operations between Toronto and Osaka's Kansai Airport (KIX).
After Vancouver, Toronto becomes KIX's second Canadian destination, operating as a three-times-weekly seasonal service until October 26.
From Kansai, the AC60 will depart on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays at 7:05 p.m. and arrive in Toronto at 7:00 p.m. the same night.
From Toronto, AC59 will depart every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 2:00 PM and arrive in Kansai the next day at 5:35 PM.
Air Canada is deploying its Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner aircraft to Osaka, with 20 seats in 1-2-1 business class, 21 in 2-3-2 premium economy class and 214 in 3-3-3 economy class.
The resumption of flights to Osaka is part of Air Canada's larger expansion into the Asia-Pacific region, with the Star Alliance member also resuming service to Singapore in April.
Singapore is Air Canada's second destination in Southeast Asia, after Bangkok.
In the northeast, the flag carrier flies to several destinations in China, as well as Seoul and Hong Kong.
The airline recently increased its Hong Kong-Vancouver frequency to up to 11 weekly services, including morning and evening departures, and Air Canada earlier this month added new service between Seoul Incheon and Montreal.
