Etihad Airways Inaugurates Toronto A350 Service

DALLAS — Etihad Airways' (EY) first Airbus A350 landed at Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) on Sunday, October 27, 2024, marking another upgrade to EY's daily Canada service from Abu Dhabi.

The new aircraft extends the guest experience by featuring Etihad's most recent cabin interior and state-of-the-art design. This represents Etihad's unwavering dedication to providing a world-class travel experience for passengers traveling between the UAE and Canada.

Using the new US Customs and Border Protection station at Abu Dhabi, guests flying stateside can expedite immigration procedures and guarantee a hassle-free trip.

Concurrently, EY will commence daily flights to Boston, USA, on November 1, approximately six months after it debuted the Massachusetts route. Aparto from Boston, the airline flies daily to Chicago, Toronto, Washington DC, twice daily to New York JFK and 42 times a week to North America.

Etihad’s Chief Revenue and Commercial Officer Arik De said, “We have seen significant demand on our Boston and Toronto routes. This expanding capacity gives our North American corporate and leisure travelers greater choice and flexibility when planning trips to the UAE and beyond to the Gulf region and the Indian subcontinent.”

“The introduction of our A350 to Toronto and expanding to daily services to Boston reflect our ambitious growth plans in 2024, set to take another major leap at the end of November when we announce an exciting lineup of new destinations,” said De.
