Etihad's A380 offers 486 seats across four cabin classes, including The Residence, the world's only three-room suite in the sky, complete with a private living room, bedroom, and ensuite shower. The new aircraft also brings a 31 per cent increase in capacity compared to the previous model serving the route. Etihad flights depart Abu Dhabi daily at 2:40 a.m. and arrive in Toronto at 9 a.m., with return flights leaving Toronto at 1:40 p.m. and landing back at Zayed International Airport at 11 a.m. the next day. The addition of Etihad's A380 service builds on the long-established service by Emirates, which has been flying its A380 between Toronto and Dubai since becoming the first carrier to bring the aircraft to Canada. Emirates increased its frequencies to five flights per week in 2018 and went daily in 2023.
