Air Canada to axe S’pore’s only non-stop flight to Canada in January 2027
The non-stop service was launched in April 2024.
Singapore's only direct flight to Canada will cease in January 2027, as Air Canada announces the suspension of its non-stop service to Vancouver. The route, which launched in April 2024, will end on January 26, 2027, due to commercial reasons, the airline's spokeswoman revealed on September 23. Despite significant investment, the route did not meet Air Canada's business targets, rendering it unsustainable.
The non-stop service, operating between Singapore and Vancouver for close to three years, will be replaced by stopovers in Hong Kong or the United States. Air Canada's decision is influenced by commercial demand, ultra-long distance, and the rising cost of fuel, making these flights inefficient. The airline will redeploy its fleet to other markets with better economic alignment.
Despite the cancellation, Air Canada will maintain its presence in Singapore through codeshare agreements with Star Alliance partners, enabling travel on SIA-operated flights to various global hubs.
