Emirates to Fly Dubai-Montreal From July 5

Emirates will be launching a new daily service from Dubai to Montreal, which will become the airline’s second gateway in Canada, starting July 5. The new service will complement Emirates’ passenger services to Toronto.

This comes as the UAE and Canada seek to deepen economic cooperation between the two countries and stimulate benefits to the aviation and tourism sectors. It will also enhance trade flows and commercial links. The daily flights to Montreal will cater to the huge demand for direct flights between Dubai and Canada, particularly to the two largest metropolitan hubs, and provide more choices for travelers when flying to Canada.

Emirates says passengers from Montreal can enjoy the airline’s award-winning services to and through Dubai, and connect safely, seamlessly, and efficiently to Emirates’ global network of over 130 destinations in over 70 countries and territories. The daily flights between Dubai and Montreal will operate as EK243/244 with a Boeing 777-300ER aircraft in a three-class configuration, offering a premium travel experience across its cabins.

Moreover, passengers can enjoy Emirates’ award-winning travel experience aboard its wide-body aircraft with 8 First Class suites, 42 lie-flat seats in Business Class, and 304 seats in Economy Class.

Adnan Kazim, Emirates’ Chief Commercial Officer, said Emirates is excited to launch its second gateway into Canada as the airline expands its reach in the country with direct services from Dubai. “As a major metropolitan center and as Canada’s second-largest city, we are pleased to add Montreal to our growing global network of over 130 destinations, and strengthen our coverage in the Americas to reach 18 points served by our services from Dubai.”

He highlighted that Emirates has been serving customers with passenger and cargo services to Toronto for over 15 years. “When we begin services to Montreal in July, customers will have more choice when planning their travel whether for business, leisure, education or for visiting family and friends. With our expanded reach into the country, we look forward to facilitating new trade lanes which will bring a host of benefits to Canadian businesses and exporters in addition to promoting tourism into more cities, and generating more jobs across all sectors, including those directly serving the aviation industry.”

Furthermore, customers of Emirates and Air Canada have access to an expansive network of destinations, owing to the codeshare partnership between the two airlines. Currently, customers have access to 19 Canadian destinations beyond Toronto through the partnership, while Air Canada customers are able to fly on Emirates to Dubai, and access 17 cities in Africa, the Indian subcontinent, the Middle East, and the Far East.
