Emirates expands its global network with Montréal flights
Emirates today revealed that, beginning on July 5, it will begin a new daily service from Dubai to Montréal. Emirates now has a second Canadian gateway in Montréal, adding to its passenger flights to Toronto, which have been running to the provincial capital of Ontario since 2007.
The opening of services to Montréal coincides with the UAE and Canada’s efforts to expand their economic collaboration, foster positive effects on the aviation and tourism industries, as well as improve trade and commercial ties. In addition to giving travellers more options when travelling to Canada, the daily flights to the new location will assist meet the enormous demand for direct flights between Dubai and Canada, notably to its two main metropolitan centres.
The airline’s award-winning services to and through Dubai are available to passengers from Montréal, and these connections allow them to access Emirates’ extensive worldwide network of over 130 destinations in over 70 countries and territories. The three-class Boeing 777-300ER aircraft used for the daily flights between Dubai and Montréal will fly as EK243/244 and provide passengers with a high-end travel experience. Aboard Emirates’ wide-body aircraft, which have 304 seats in Economy Class, 42 lie-flat seats in Business Class, and 8 First Class suites, passengers may experience the airline’s renowned travel offerings.
