The service will provide travellers to Canada connectivity via Dubai from points such as Lebanon, India, Iran, Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand and South Africa.

With Montréal being home to a number of world-class universities, the route is expected to become immensely popular amongst students from the Middle East, West and Central Asia and Far East.
Emirates executives on board included: Adnan Kazim, chief commercial officer; Salem Obaidalla, senior vice-president of commercial operations for Americas; and David Broz, vice-president for aeropolitical and industry affairs.
