Sales have begun with the first codeshare flight to operate from 15^th December 2020. The agreement reinforced Qatar Airways’ long-term commitment to Canadian passengers. In addition to this, it is designed to boost Canada’s global connectivity under the broader aim of assisting the recovery of tourism and trade.

As a result of the agreement, Qatar Airways’ passengers can enjoy seamless, one-stop connections to and from Toronto via Hamad International Airport. On the other hand, Air Canada passengers will have the benefit of being able to make bookings on Qatar Airways’ flights between Toronto and Doha and onwards to more than 75 destinations in Africa, Asia and the Middle East.

Qatar Airways has been flying to Canada since the summer of 2011. Air Canada is also adding Doha to its network this month. The airline has worked closely with the Government of Canada and its embassies around the world throughout the pandemic, temporarily operating three weekly services to Toronto in addition to charter flights to Vancouver to help bring more than 40,000 passengers home to Canada.

Apart from Air Canada, Qatar Airways have 25 additional codeshare partners from all corners of the world.
