Abu Dhabi – UAE. Etihad Airways is excited to announce that its legendary A380 will serve the Abu Dhabi – Toronto route in time for Summer 2025.

The famous double-decker will start flying between Zayed Abu Dhabi International (AUH) and Toronto Pearson International (YYZ) on 24 June 2025, perfectly timed for the busy summer travel period and key corporate market. It means the world’s only three-room suite in the sky, serving up the legendary flying experience, is on the way to the land of the maple leaf.

Arik De, Chief Revenue and Commercial Officer, Etihad Airways, said: “We’re delighted to start flying our remarkable A380 to Canada, and we know our guests love the onboard experience. Whether they are flying in Economy, Business, First or the three-room suite in the sky, The Residence, they will relish the attentive service from our dedicated crew. The timing and comfort provided by the A380 means they can arrive in Toronto fresh and ready for anything.

"Deploying the A380 on the popular Toronto route is a strategic move to meet customer demand for increased capacity while expanding our network. Given Toronto's popularity among Etihad's customers, enhancing our capacity in the Canadian market is a logical step. This will strengthen connections to the broader GCC and Indian subcontinent and attract more visitors to experience the vibrant city of Abu Dhabi."

The increase in capacity on the Toronto route gives more opportunity for guests to visit Abu Dhabi, either as a stopover or a destination. Etihad’s Abu Dhabi Stopover programme further enhances connectivity, enabling travellers to extend their layovers into memorable stays with up to two complimentary nights at premium hotels in Abu Dhabi.

To celebrate the launch of the A380, Etihad is launching a sale from today until 5 March, with special themed one-way fares to Abu Dhabi in Economy starting at CAD $ 880, in Business Class from CAD $ 2,380, and in First Class from CAD $ 8,380, and return fares from CAD $ 1,380 in Economy, CAD $ 3,380 in Business Class and CAD $ 10,380 in First Class for travel between 24 June and 8 December 2025.
