AC to start YYZ-ZRH-DEL

[landingFCO]

Air Canada ha deciso di sostituire l'attuale rotta YYZ-DEL operata con A343 nonstop 3xw con un servizio giornaliero via Zurigo (al momento con 763ER). In AC già stanno puntando ad una alleanza con Swiss in quanto prox partner Star Alliance , così ZRH si trova di colpo e "gratuitamente" ad avere il servizio da/per YYZ esteso da stagionale ad annuale , un upgrade di aeromobile (da 762 a 763) e l'aggiunta di una destinazione importante quale DEL , in un paese che non credo attualmente abbia collegamenti diretti con la Svizzera.

Il nuovo routing partirà dal 30 Ottobre

Air Canada to Serve Delhi Via Zurich with Introduction of Year-Round Daily Service to Switzerland and India

MONTREAL, July 8 /CNW Telbec/ - Air Canada today announced that effective October 30, 2005, it will serve Delhi via Zurich on a daily year-round basis from Toronto. The transfer of flights to India via Switzerland will allow Air Canada to re-introduce year-round service to Zurich while improving its schedule to India with an increase to daily flights from its current three- times weekly non-stop service from Toronto. In addition, Air Canada plans to pursue a codeshare agreement with future Star Alliance member, Swiss International Air Lines, by which SWISS would sell seats on a codeshare basis on the Air Canada-operated flights via Zurich.
"By offering same-plane, one-stop service to India via Switzerland, Air Canada customers will benefit from an expanded choice of year-round daily flights to both Zurich and Delhi," said Ben Smith, Vice President, Network Planning. "We look forward to pursuing talks on commercial cooperation with SWISS, our future Star Alliance partner, to serve the Europe-India market as well. Moreover, deployment of right-sized Boeing 767-300ER aircraft on the route will allow us to optimize use of passenger and cargo capacity, and reintroduce our premium Executive First product in the Zurich market on a year- round basis."

Flights will be operated using 212-seat Boeing 767-300ER aircraft offering a choice of Executive First and Hospitality service. Flight attendants speaking Hindi, Punjabi and German, as well as English and French, will be available to serve customers in their choice of language. Customers will be offered a choice of western and Indian meals, and the in-flight entertainment program will include a number of German-language selections, as well as Indian "Bollywood" recent releases on the Zurich-Delhi segment.

Air Canada has timed its Zurich/Delhi service to offer excellent connections to and from cities across Canada via its main hub in Toronto.

C'è il volo giornaliero Zurigo-Bombay di Swiss, l'unico collegamento rimasto tra la Svizzera e l'India.

Ah sì giusto , non mi ricordavo. Quindi ancora meglio , DEL va ad aggiungersi a BOM integrando l'offerta dei voli sull'India da ZRH.

Qualche anno fa AC aveva i voli per Delhi via CDG e utilizzava anche 747.
