Qatar Airways has introduced a new route connecting Doha and Toronto, marking its second service to Canada and fourteenth to the Americas. The airline operates this route three times a week using a Boeing 777 aircraft equipped with Starlink high-speed internet.

The inaugural flight, QR767, took off from Doha Hamad International Airport on Wednesday at 08:39 and arrived at Toronto Pearson International Airport after approximately 13 hours and 50 minutes. The return journey departed Toronto at 20:26 and landed in Doha the following day.

Qatar Airways has a fleet of 64 Boeing 777 widebody aircraft. The plane used for the Toronto route was delivered in December 2009 and has recently served destinations including Melbourne, New York, London, Singapore, Chicago, Paris, and Riyadh.
