Quick trip to Dubai, anyone? Emirates has announced that it will be launching daily flights between Toronto and Dubai starting on April 20th, 2023.
The daily flights are the result of a “breakthrough expanded air transport agreement between the United Arab Emirates and Canada,” said Emirates in a press release.
Emirates will offer over 6,800 seats per week on the popular Toronto-UAE route, and will increase its capacity by 40% to accommodate the demand.
“The Dubai-Toronto route is highly popular amongst customers from India, UAE, Bangladesh, Iran, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Sri Lanka.”
You may have seen the Emirates signature A380 plane on social media or experienced it for yourself.
The double-decker Airbus accommodates a whopping 491 passengers per flight across Economy Class, Business Class, and First Class.
