China and Canada will increase the number of direct flights to meet demand for travel and trade between the two countries, the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) said Wednesday.

Air Canada plans to increase the frequency of its weekly flights roundtrip from Vancouver to Shanghai from the current four to seven from December 7, according to the CAAC.

In addition, Air Canada will resume its Vancouver to Beijing route from January 15, 2025, offering seven round-trip flights per week.

Meanwhile, Chinese airlines are also speeding up the process of applying for additional flights.

Increasing direct flights between China and Canada will help meet needs for personnel exchange, economy and trade, and will also contribute to the further recovery of their common air travel market, CAAC said.
