Emirates announces daily flights to Montreal
Emirates: Emirates has added
Montreal to its growing list of international destinations, according to a
company press release.
The airline announced a daily service from Dubai
to the Canadian city would begin on July 5.
Montreal will be Emirates’ second gateway into the
North American country, expanding on its passenger services to Toronto, which
has been in operation since 2007.
The introduction of services to Montreal is part
of a broader effort to intensify economic collaboration and spur growth in the
aviation and tourism industries between the UAE and Canada.
Adnan Kazim, Emirates’ chief commercial officer,
said: “As a major metropolitan center and Canada’s second-largest city, we are
pleased to add Montreal to our growing global network.”
Passengers on the flights between Dubai and
Montreal will be aboard a Boeing 777, which has first and business-class seats
and an economy section.
Elaborating on his vision, Kazim said: “With our
expanded reach into the country, we look forward to facilitating new trade
lanes, which will bring a host of benefits to Canadian businesses and exporters
in addition to promoting tourism into more cities and generating more jobs
across all sectors, including those directly serving the aviation industry.”
The airline’s network extends to 18 points across
the Americas, including Canada, the US, Mexico, Brazil and Argentina.
