Qatar Airways Expands its Canadian Connectivity with New Direct Flight Route to Toronto Pearson International Airport

Published on October 2, 2024

Qatar Airways is set to introduce a new route to Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) beginning December 11, 2024. This new service will feature three weekly non-stop flights originating from Hamad International Airport (DOH), recognized as the World’s Best Airport.

With this addition, Toronto becomes Qatar Airways’ fourteenth destination in the Americas and its second in Canada, complementing the existing service to Montréal. Since its inception, the Montréal route has welcomed over 1.6 million passengers, facilitated by seven daily flights to Montréal-Trudeau International Airport (YUL).

The Toronto route will be operated using Boeing 777-300ER aircraft, which are outfitted with 42 award-winning Qsuite Business Class seats and 312 Economy Class seats. This service will offer travelers from Canada and beyond convenient access to Qatar Airways’ extensive global network, connecting them to key destinations such as 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 route is a strong and enduring commitment towards providing Qatar Airways’ Canadian customers with the enhanced connectivity they deserve, as well as access to our world-leading service and Qsuite in-flight product.

“The addition of a fourteenth gateway to our Americas network is also a testament to our aim in maintaining a key presence across the local market, and cements our reputation as a reliable global connector.”

Recognized as the World’s Best Airline by Skytrax in 2024, Qatar Airways has consistently offered significant support to Canada, playing a vital role in various diplomatic initiatives during challenging times. Notably, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the airline established an air bridge that enabled the repatriation of thousands of Canadians.

Currently, Qatar Airways operates flights to over 170 destinations globally, all connecting through its hub at Hamad International Airport (DOH) in Doha. The airline is committed to expanding its global network, ensuring that every passenger enjoys an unparalleled luxury travel experience.
