Canadians will soon have more access to what many call the world’s best airline, as well as new ways to reach a booming part of the world.

Starting 01DEC, 2024, Qatar Airways will launch new, non-stop flights three times a week between YYZ and DOH.

“This new route marks its 14th gateway in the Americas and second destination in Canada, joining Montreal, which has served over 1.6 million passengers. The expansion highlights Qatar Airways’ commitment to being a reliable global connector,” officials said.

“Operated by Boeing 777-300ER aircraft, equipped with 42 award-winning Qsuite Business Class seats and 312 Economy Class seats, the new service will provide travellers from Canada and beyond with seamless access to destinations across Qatar Airways’ extensive global network, including Colombo (CMB), Bangkok (BKK), Delhi (DEL), Kathmandu (KTM) and Mumbai (BOM).”

“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,” said Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive Officer, Engr. Badr Mohammed Al-Meer. “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.”

Qatar Airways currently flies to more than 170 destinations worldwide, connecting through its Doha hub, (DOH), and continues to expand on its global network to provide all passengers with the most luxury travel experience in the world. Qatar Airways was voted The World’s Best Airline by Skytrax in 2024.
