Emirates is bringing its brand-new Airbus A350 to Canada. Starting February 1, 2026, the modern aircraft will fly daily between Montréal (YUL) and Dubai (DXB).
Montréal is Emirates’ first destination in its Americas network to receive its latest aircraft type, featuring award-winning Premium Economy cabins.
Airbus A350 Deployment to Montreal
The A350 will replace the Boeing 777 currently used on the route. Passengers will enjoy the airline’s latest cabin design, cutting-edge technology, and improved comfort across all classes.
New Cabin Layout
The Emirates A350 offers three classes of service:
- Business Class: 32 lie-flat seats in a 1-2-1 configuration for direct aisle access.
- Premium Economy: 28 spacious seats with extra legroom, wider pitch, and enhanced service — a first for Canada.
- Economy Class: 238 comfortable seats with the latest inflight features.
Daily Flight Schedule (local times)
- EK243 Dubai – Montréal: Departs 02:45, arrives 07:35
- EK244 Montréal – Dubai: Departs 10:40, arrives 08:00 (next day)
This upgrade gives travellers more options and a superior onboard experience. The quieter, more fuel-efficient A350 also delivers a smoother and more relaxing journey.
Enhanced Canada Network
Emirates continues to operate its iconic double-decker A380 daily to Toronto, offering First Class private suites, onboard Shower Spas, and the famous Onboard Lounge.
Through its codeshare agreement with Air Canada, Emirates passengers can connect seamlessly to 37 additional destinations across Canada and the United States from both Montréal and Toronto.
No matter which cabin class you choose, every Emirates flight includes complimentary gourmet meals inspired by regional cuisines, together with unlimited beverages. It also boasts the award-winning ice entertainment system with over 6,500 channels of movies, TV shows, music, and live sports in multiple languages.
Conclusion
This marks the first time Canadian travellers can experience Emirates’ highly praised Premium Economy cabin.
The arrival of the A350 in Montréal underlines Emirates’ long-term commitment to the Canadian market and its promise to deliver world-class travel experiences.
