Etihad Airways has unveiled plans to increase
flights to Toronto, Canada.
The airline will introduce an
additional weekly flight between Abu Dhabi (AUH) and Toronto (YYZ), on top of
its current six flights per week schedule, to provide travellers
with a daily connection from 30 May 2023.
Etihad will this year mark 18 years since it began
serving Toronto in October 2005. The carrier has an interline
agreement with WestJet and a codeshare with Air Canada which allow
guests to benefit from seamless connectivity in Toronto to more
than 15 destinations.
“Etihad is thrilled to begin flying daily between
Abu Dhabi and Toronto, which has been one of our busiest routes in
2023 as a result of the rapid recovery and continued growth in
travel demand between the UAE and Canada,” said Arik De, Chief
Revenue Officer at Etihad Airways. “Our daily service will provide business and
leisure travellers, the Canadian diaspora and the large body of
students from the UAE enrolled in Canada’s world-class
universities with a convenient flight option every day of the
week. We thank the government and civil aviation
authorities for laying the groundwork for us to strengthen the air
links between our two countries, which are essential for tourism,
trade and bilateral relations.”
Toronto is the largest
city in Canada and a must-visit destination know for its diverse
culture, architecture and exciting food scene.
Visitors
can explore iconic landmarks such as the CN Tower – one of
more than 80 skyscrapers in the city – along with the Royal
Ontario Museum and the Art Gallery of Ontario.
