Air Canada will launch non-stop flights between Toronto and Shanghai on June 16.

The airline will operate three non-stop flights per week between Toronto and Shanghai, complementing its Toronto-Beijing non-stop service, which began last June.

With an elapsed time of 14 hours 45 minutes westbound and 13 hours 40 minutes eastbound, the new flight saves travelers three hours in each direction compared to flights that stop over in Vancouver.

Shanghai-bound flights will depart Toronto at 10:15AM on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday and arrive in Shanghai at 1:00 PM the next day.

Toronto-bound flights will leave Shanghai at 2:45 PM on Monday, Thursday and Saturday and arrive in Toronto at 4:25 PM the same day.
