With the Asian population growing in Vancouver, there’s no doubt that there will be an increase in air traffic resonating from the China area. Air Canada has caught onto this, announcing that they’ll be increasing their service from Vancouver to Tokyo by one extra flight.

The flight, which will depart Vancouver at 19:30 (7:30PM), arriving in Haneda the next night. This flight is in addition to flights already departing to Beijing, Shanghai, and other Chinese cities. The benefits of the timing of these flights for Canadians is that it allows passengers to connect to flights that head to both Bangkok and Singapore.
