ABU DHABI — Starting May 30 Etihad Airways will offer daily flights between Abu Dhabi and Toronto.

The move follows the recently expanded air services agreement between the UAE and Canada.

Etihad will introduce an additional weekly flight between Abu Dhabi and Toronto, on top of its current six-per-week flight schedule, to offer travellers a daily connection.

“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 Etihad Airways’ Chief Revenue Officer, Arik De.

“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.

“We thank the government and civil aviation authorities for laying the groundwork for us to strengthen the air links between our two countries, which are essential for tourism, trade and bilateral relations.”

Etihad has been serving the Toronto market since 2005.  The carrier has an interline agreement with WestJet and a codeshare with Air Canada which allow guests to benefit from connectivity in Toronto to more than 15 destinations.
