The flights will be operated by Boeing B777-300ER aircraft, featuring 40 seats in business class and 340 in economy class.
Robin Kamark, chief commercial officer, Etihad Aviation Group, said, “This development is great news for UAE nationals, for whom Canada is an exciting trade, touristic, and cultural partner, and for Canadians, including the thousands residing here in the emirates. The UAE is also Canada’s largest export market in the MENA region, so the extra services are a boost for trade to and from the area and beyond.”
Etihad Airways inaugurated services to Toronto on October 2005, and since then the route has proved very successful for the airline.
