Dubai: The Emirates A350 aircraft will make its debut in Canada on 1 February 2026* and serve the Montréal-Dubai route. The A350 aircraft will replace the current Boeing 777 aircraft operating the daily service and its deployment marks the introduction of Emirates’ latest cabin class, Premium Economy, in Canada.   

Emirates’ A350 aircraft features the airline’s latest interiors, industry-first technologies and innovations, and its roll out reinforces Emirates’ commitment to customers in Canada. Customers flying to and from Montréal will now have more choice when making travel plans and can enjoy exceptional levels of comforts onboard. Emirates’ A350 aircraft features three cabin classes with 32 Business Class seats in a 1-2-1 layout, 28 Premium Economy seats with generous legroom, and 238 Economy Class seats.
