Qatar Airways is set to enhance its North American presence with the launch of a new service to Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ), commencing on December 11, 2024. This development marks the airline’s fourteenth gateway in the Americas and its second destination in Canada, alongside its existing route to Montréal-Trudeau International Airport (YUL). The Toronto service will operate three times a week, providing passengers with convenient non-stop flights from Hamad International Airport (DOH) in Doha, Qatar.
The new route will be operated using Boeing 777-300ER aircraft, featuring 42 award-winning Qsuite Business Class seats and 312 Economy Class seats. This setup ensures that travelers can experience Qatar Airways’ renowned hospitality and comfort while connecting to various destinations across the airline’s extensive global network. Notable connecting destinations include popular cities such as Colombo (CMB), Bangkok (BKK), Delhi (DEL), Kathmandu (KTM), and Mumbai (BOM).
Engr. Badr Mohammed Al-Meer, the Group Chief Executive Officer of Qatar Airways, emphasized the airline’s commitment to enhancing connectivity for Canadian travelers. He stated that the Toronto route represents a significant step towards providing enhanced connectivity and world-class service to Qatar Airways’ Canadian customers. Furthermore, the addition of Toronto solidifies the airline’s presence in the North American market, reinforcing its reputation as a reliable global connector.
Qatar Airways has established a strong track record of supporting Canada through various initiatives. The airline played a vital role during the COVID-19 pandemic, facilitating the repatriation of thousands of Canadians by establishing an air bridge between Qatar and Canada. This commitment to service and connectivity has earned Qatar Airways recognition as the World’s Best Airline by Skytrax in 2024.
As part of its ongoing expansion, Qatar Airways currently operates flights to over 170 destinations worldwide, connecting passengers through its Doha hub, Hamad International Airport. The addition of the Toronto service reflects the airline’s ambition to provide a luxurious travel experience while continuing to grow its global network. Travelers can look forward to enjoying the premium services and amenities that Qatar Airways is known for, making their journey to Canada and beyond a memorable one.
In conclusion, the launch of Qatar Airways’ service to Toronto marks an exciting development for both the airline and Canadian travelers. With increased connectivity and access to a wide range of destinations, Qatar Airways continues to solidify its position as a leading global airline, committed to offering exceptional service and ensuring that its passengers have access to the best travel experiences available. As the airline prepares for this new route, it is poised to play a significant role in enhancing travel options for Canadians and further enriching the aviation landscape in the region.
