Toronto has become one of the handful of cities in the world served by not one, but two Airbus A380 operators, Emirates and now Etihad Airways, cementing Pearson Airport's growing status as a major hub for long-haul travel. Etihad Airways officially began A380 service on its Abu Dhabi to Toronto route on June 24, marking the first time the airline has flown its flagship double-decker aircraft to Canada, and the first time Toronto has hosted two different A380 carriers simultaneously in three years. 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.
