Emirates is preparing to operate its newest Airbus A350 aircraft in Canada for the first time from 1 February 2026, on flights to Montreal, replacing the Boeing 777 that currently operates this daily route.
The Airbus A350 comes with all-new cabins and technologies being introduced for the first time in the Emirates fleet, reflecting the airline's commitment to enhancing the experience it offers customers in Canada and giving them multiple travel options, according to a press release published on the Emirates website.
The aircraft has three classes, including 32 seats in a 1-2-1 layout offering direct aisle access in Business Class, 28 seats in Premium Economy with generous legroom, and 238 seats in Economy Class.
Emirates will operate the aircraft on its daily service between Dubai and Montreal, with flight EK243 departing Dubai at 02:45 and arriving in Montreal at 07:35, while the return flight EK244 will depart Montreal at 10:40 and arrive in Dubai at 08:00 the following day. All times are local times in Dubai and Montreal.
The deployment of the Airbus A350 and the introduction of Premium Economy to the Canadian market represent a qualitative step forward in Emirates' services on the Montreal route, at a time when the airline continues to operate the Airbus A380 on its daily flights to Toronto, providing a travel experience across its two gateways in Canada. A codeshare agreement with Air Canada also provides access to 37 additional destinations in Canada and the United States via both Montreal and Toronto.
