Air Canada to Launch Flights Between Toronto and Dubai

Air Canada has unveiled plans to launch three times weekly non-stop flights between Toronto and Dubai on 3 November 2015.

Flights will be operated with a Boeing 787 Dreamliner in a three cabin configuration, including next generation lie-flat seats in International Business Class, a Premium Economy cabin, and upgraded inflight entertainment available at every seat throughout the aircraft.

Flights provide for Aeroplan accumulation and redemption and, for eligible customers, priority check-in, Maple Leaf Lounge access in Toronto, priority boarding and other benefits.

"Air Canada's international growth strategy continues to accelerate with the addition of the seventh new international destination to our global network announced in the past year. The three-times-weekly Dubai service will be Air Canada's first non-stop flight to the UAE at a time when air travel between North America and the region is growing, including more international connecting traffic over our Toronto global hub," said Calin Rovinescu, President and Chief Executive Officer at Air Canada.

Tickets will go on sale 16 December 2014.
