DOHA — Qatar Airways is getting ready to launch new service connecting Doha and Toronto’s Pearson Airport.

The new route will start Dec. 11, 2024 with three weekly nonstop flights between YYZ and Hamad International Airport (DOH).

Toronto is Qatar Airways’ 14th gateway in the Americas, and the airline’s second destination in Canada. Qatar Airways’ Montreal operations have so far served more than 1.6 million passengers across seven daily flights to and from YUL since launch.

The Toronto flights will be operated by B777-300ER aircraft, with 42 Qsuite Business Class seats and 312 Economy Class seats. Connections to destinations across Qatar Airways’ extensive global network include Colombo (CMB), Bangkok (BKK), Delhi (DEL), Kathmandu (KTM) and Mumbai (BOM).

“The Toronto route is a strong and enduring commitment towards providing Qatar Airways’ Canadian customers with the enhanced connectivity they deserve, as well as access to our world-leading service and Qsuite in-flight product,” said Qatar Airways Group CEO, Engr. Badr Mohammed Al-Meer

“The addition of a 14th 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,” he added.

Qatar Airways was voted World’s Best Airline by Skytrax in 2024 and currently flies to 170+ destinations worldwide, connecting through its DOH hub.

The new Toronto route will operate every Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. Flight QR767 leaves Doha at 9:50 a.m., arriving in Toronto at 3:55 p.m. On the return leg, flight QR768 leaves Toronto at 8 p.m., arriving in Doha at 4:30 p.m.
