Emirates celebrates ten years in Toronto

DUBAI / Emirates Business

Emirates, recognized this year as the Best Airline in the World in the inaugural TripAdvisor Travelers’ Choice Awards, is celebrating 10 years in Canada.
Since the inaugural flight in October 2007, Emirates has carried over 1.2 million passengers through its Toronto – Dubai route.
In Canada, Emirates’ established codeshare partnerships with WestJet and Alaska Airlines enable it to connect travellers from across its global network to more Canadian cities, and vice versa. Hitting the 10 year milestone in Canada shows Emirates’ continued commitment to its operations in the country.
“We’re proud to be celebrating 10 years of operations in Canada,” says Hubert Frach, Divisional Senior Vice President, Commercial Operations West at Emirates. “We started with a Boeing 777 aircraft flying three times a week. By June 2009, we had started operating with the Airbus A380 and increased our passenger capacity
by 40 per cent across Canada, which
illustrates the strong demand from
customers and the market.”
