Hard on the heels of the 05APR announcement of a Blue Skies agreement between Canada and the UAE, Etihad Airways has become the second UAE airline to announce it will increase flights to Toronto.
On 30MAY, Etihad Airways will introduce an additional weekly flight between Toronto and Abu Dhabi. That's on top of its current six-per-week flight schedule, making its Toronto service daily.
It follows 11APR news, as Open Jaw reported, that Emirates will commence daily service between Toronto and Dubai on 20APR.
"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," he added.
2023 marks Etihad's 18th year of service from Toronto; beginning in 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.
Tickets for the new flights are now available to book.
More information about Ethiad is available on its web site.
