Qatar Airways is marking two milestones: new flights to Toronto, and more Starlink-enabled aircraft than ever before. The airline’s inaugural flight to Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) – a Starlink-enabled Boeing 777 – has landed officially marking the launch of three weekly non-stop flights from Doha.

Toronto becomes Qatar Airways’ second destination in Canada, in addition to Montreal, which has served more than 1.6 million passengers across seven weekly flights to and from Montréal-Trudeau International Airport (YUL), since its launch in 2011. This also marks the airline’s fourteenth gateway to the Americas.
The new Toronto service will provide travellers from Canada and beyond with seamless access to destinations across Qatar Airways’ extensive global network. It also comes as the airline surpasses its target of fitting Starlink to 12 Boeing 777 aircraft by the end of 2024, with 14 aircraft upgraded in under 55 days, bringing the total to 15.
As the largest global airline to offer complimentary Starlink on board, Qatar Airways is also the world’s first airline to operate Boeing 777 Starlink-equipped aircraft. It means that passengers can now stay entertained and connected throughout their journey, streaming their favourite shows and live sports, enjoying online gaming, or working seamlessly at 35,000 feet.
While flying on board one of Qatar Airways’15 Starlink-enabled aircraft, passengers will also be able to enjoy unparalleled service, whether it’s Business Class à la carte, or unlimited snacks and beverages in economy class, while enjoying 8,000 entertainment options.
