Etihad Airways’ first Airbus A350 flight to Toronto Pearson Airport has touched down.
It marks a further upgrade of Etihad’s daily services between Abu Dhabi and Canada.
Meanwhile, Etihad begins an upgraded daily flight service to Boston later this week, some six months after it opened the route.
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.”
The airline now flies 42 times a week to North America: twice daily to New York JFK, and daily to Boston, Chicago, Toronto and Washington DC.
Guests flying stateside can take advantage of the new US Customs and Border Protection facility at Abu Dhabi, streamlining the immigration process before arrival.
In the opposite direction, Etihad’s complimentary stopover programme means travellers can turn their layover into a stay of up to two free nights at premium hotels in Abu Dhabi.
