Emirates is bringing a major upgrade to its services in Canada by deploying the Airbus A350 aircraft on the Montréal–Dubai route starting 1st February 2026. This marks the first time an Emirates A350 will operate in the Americas, introducing the airline’s award-winning Premium Economy cabin to Canadian travellers.

The A350 will replace the Boeing 777 currently operating the daily service and will offer customers a refreshed travel experience with modern interiors, advanced inflight technologies and thoughtful comfort enhancements. The aircraft features three cabin classes, including 32 Business Class seats in a 1-2-1 layout, 28 Premium Economy seats with ample legroom and comfort, and 238 Economy Class seats designed for a relaxed journey.

The Emirates A350 will fly daily on EK243 and EK244 with the following schedule (local times):

• EK243: Departs Dubai at 02:45 and arrives in Montréal at 07:35.

• EK244: Departs Montréal at 10:40 and lands in Dubai at 08:00 the next day.

This deployment highlights Emirates’ strong commitment to Canadian travellers, offering more choice and elevated onboard comfort. Alongside Montréal, the airline operates its iconic A380 on daily flights to Toronto, giving passengers exceptional inflight experiences across its two gateways in Canada.

Through its codeshare agreement with Air Canada, Emirates customers can also access 37 additional destinations across Canada and the United States from Montréal and Toronto, making travel planning more seamless and convenient.

Passengers on the A350 can enjoy Emirates’ premium dining with regional flavours, as well as its award-winning entertainment system that features 6,500 channels in multiple languages. Bookings can be made on emirates.com, the Emirates App, retail stores, contact centres or through travel agents.
