MONTREAL — Air Canada is resuming flights to northern India today after Pakistan announced it would re-open its airspace Friday despite ongoing tensions between the two nuclear powers.
The airline says its two daily flights to Delhi from Toronto and Vancouver are back on tonight after a two-day suspension affecting as many as 1,100 passengers. Air Canada says it has found alternate routes for the two airplanes, with Pakistan’s Civil Aviation Authority declaring open skies starting tomorrow.
