As demand from Canada to international destinations soars, Emirates is responding with the announcement of daily flights from Montreal to Dubai beginning July 5.

The flights aboard widebody Boeing 777-300ER aircraft in a three-class configuration will complement daily A380 services from Toronto. The UAE airline has been operating to Ontario's capital city since 2007.

Emirates says the daily flights will help cater to the huge demand for direct flights between Dubai and Canada, particularly to its two largest metropolitan hubs, and provide more choice for travellers when flying to Canada.

The launch of services to Montreal comes as the UAE and Canada aim to deepen economic cooperation between the two nations and stimulate benefits to the aviation and tourism sectors, in addition to enhancing trade flows and commercial links.

Tickets are on sale now.

"We have been serving customers with passenger and cargo services to Toronto for over 15 years and when we begin services to Montreal in July, customers will have more choice when planning their travel whether for business, leisure, education or for visiting family and friends."
