It will run three times weekly on the 354-seat Boeing 777-300ER. The carrier seemingly operated in 2020 but only temporarily to repatriate Canadians.

The airport pair was last served by Air Canada in the most difficult of periods: from 2020 to 2023. It existed due to its codeshare agreement with Qatar Airways.

Flights will return, this time with Qatar Airways, becoming that carrier’s second Canadian destination after Montreal. This means it will have a 10 times weekly operation: daily to Montreal and three times weekly to Toronto. Clearly, it has benefited from a loosening of the Canada-Qatar bilateral.

Qatar Airways passenger jets will now serve 13 US/Canadian airports: Atlanta, Boston, Chicago O’Hare, Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston Intercontinental, Los Angeles, Miami, Montreal, New York JFK, San Francisco, Seattle, Toronto, and Washington Dulles. This number rises to 14 when Philadelphia, served by partner American, is included.
