Qatar Airways will launch a new service to Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) starting on 11 December 2024, with three weekly non-stop flights from the World’s Best Airport – Hamad International Airport (DOH).

As the airline’s fourteenth gateway to the Americas, the new Toronto route marks the airline’s second destination in Canada, joining Montréal which has served more than 1.6 million passengers across seven daily flights to and from Montréal-Trudeau International Airport (YUL) since its launch.

The new Toronto service is operated by Boeing 777-300ER aircraft with 42 Qsuite Business Class and 312 Economy Class seats. This will allow travellers to travel seamlessly from Canada and beyond to destinations in Qatar Airways’ extensive global networks, including Colombo (CMB), Bangkok BKK, Delhi (DEL), Kathmandu KTM and Mumbai BOM.

Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive Officer, Engr. Badr Mohammed Al Meer said: “The Toronto flight is a strong commitment to provide Qatar Airways’ Canadian clients with the enhanced connectivity and access they deserve, as we also offer our world-leading Qsuite product and service.

“The addition a 14th gateway to our Americas Network is also a testimony to our aim to maintain a key presence in the local market and cements our reputation of a reliable global connecter.”

The World’s Best Airline as voted by Skytrax 2024 has provided Canada with extensive help and assistance over the past years, including critical diplomatic efforts in several challenging areas. Qatar Airways helped Canada during the COVID-19 epidemic by setting up an air bridge that allowed thousands of Canadians to return home.

Qatar Airways flies to over 170 destinations in the world. The airline connects through its Doha hub at Hamad International Airport, and continues to expand the global network.
