Air China resumes Beijing-Toronto flights after 33 years

Air China announced the launch of a direct passenger route between Beijing and Toronto, Canada, starting May 20 this year: Two flights per week, operating on Tuesdays and Saturdays. According to Air China's app, one-way fares start from RMB 6,480 (excluding taxes, about USD 888.6) for Beijing-Toronto, and from RMB 4,640 (excluding taxes, about USD 636) for Toronto-Beijing. As reported by Simple Flying, this marks Air China's return to Toronto after a 33-year hiatus. In 1992, Air China operated the Beijing-Shanghai-Vancouver-Toronto route using a Boeing 747. The relaunch of this route signifies direct competition between Air China and Hainan Airlines on the Beijing-Toronto nonstop route.<br/>
