Dubai-based Emirates has announced its plans to start services to Toronto, a first gateway for the airline in Canada starting in October.  The non-stop service between Dubai and Toronto is planned to operate three times a week. Emirates will fly its Boeing 777-300ER (extended range) on the route, offering 354 seats in a three-class configuration with six tonnes of cargo capacity from Dubai to Toronto and 12 tonnes from Toronto to  Dubai.

HH Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed  Al Maktoum, chairman and chief executive, Emirates Airline said: “The new route will provide a first direct link between Canada’s largest city and Dubai. We anticipate this route will be very popular, connecting Canada to our global network of nearly 90 cities worldwide.”

The three-class configuration 777 will have eight first class suites, 42 business class seats and 304 seats in economy. Passengers in all classes will enjoy the award-winning service from Emirates’ international cabin crew as well as the airline’s exceptional in-flight entertainment system.
