SAUDIA will resume operations to Toronto, Canada in collaboration with the Air Connectivity Program (ACP), which aims to add new international services to the carrier’s network.
To drive this expansion, the new destination is already available through Saudia’s scheduled channels, and dedicated service facilities are also being prepared at Lester Pearson International Airport to provide a convenient and seamless experience for passengers.
SAUDIA suspended its Toronto operations in 2018 after Saudi Arabia and Canada severed diplomatic relations. With the return of this service, the airline will have a network of four destinations in North America operated from its hubs in Jeddah and Riyadh.
Toronto becomes SAUDIA’s ninth destination in partnership with ACP.
