Qatar Airways announced that it will launch a new service to Toronto Pearson International Airport starting on December 11, 2024. This marks the airline’s 14th route to the Americas and its second destination in Canada, joining Montréal.

The new route will be operated by a Boeing 777-300ER aircraft, featuring 42 Qsuite Business Class seats and 312 Economy seats. Flights will operate three times per week.

“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,” said the airline’s CEO Engr. Badr Mohammed Al-Meer in a press release.

Flights from Doha to Toronto will depart at 9:50 a.m., arriving at 3:55 p.m. local time. The return flight will depart Toronto at 8:00 p.m., landing in Doha at 4:30 p.m.

The carrier briefly operated a handful of repatriation flights to Toronto in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic.
