Qatar Airways is expanding its North American footprint with the launch of a new route between Doha, Qatar (DOH) and Toronto, Canada (YYZ), marking a significant boost to travel options between the Middle East and Canada. Starting on December 11th, 2024, the airline will operate three weekly flights between the two cities, using its state-of-the-art Boeing 777-300ER aircraft. This new service adds to the existing Qatar Airways presence in Canada, where it already serves Montreal (YUL), further strengthening the position of the airline as a key player in the region and offering enhanced connectivity for travelers.

Starting December 11th, 2024, Qatar Airways will operate a three times weekly non-stop flight between Doha (DOH) and Toronto (YYZ). The new flight will have the following flight times:

Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive Officer, Engr. Badr Mohammed Al-Meer, said:

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. 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.

Final Thoughts

With the launch of the Doha to Toronto route, Qatar Airways continues to expand its global network, offering more options for travelers seeking seamless connectivity between Canada and the Middle East. This new service not only strengthens ties between the two regions but also enhances the reputation of Qatar Airways for delivering world-class service and premium travel experiences, whether in Economy Class or the award-winning QSuites Business Class. The only remaining question is whether or not Qatar Airways will partner with another Canadian carrier (i.e. Porter) to provide more connectivity throughout Canada.
