Air Canada has confirmed it will be resuming daily service from Canada to Beijing and will be increasing its Shanghai flights to daily. Both routes will operate from the airline's Vancouver hub.

"We are resuming our non-stop services between Canada and Beijing and increasing our flights between Canada and Shanghai, reflecting the importance of these markets in Air Canada's global network. With the investments we have made at our YVR hub linking Air Canada's extensive North American network to our international flights, travelling between North America and Asia is convenient and compelling for leisure and business travellers alike. We look forward to welcoming our customers onboard our flights," said Mark Galardo, Executive Vice President – Revenue and Network Planning at Air Canada.
