00:00This route is very important for us. It's the second airport at Canada. Since 2007 we haven't
00:08opened any new destination in Canada. So this is the second airport in Canada which is so
00:14important for us because of Canadian passengers coming from Canada to Dubai and they have 58
00:21destinations beyond Dubai. So that's why it's so important for us and this is going to be a daily
00:27flight from Dubai to Montreal, Montreal to Dubai. I'm very happy to be here this evening to be part
00:33of this inaugural flight from Dubai to Montreal by Emirates. This is a great opportunity, this
00:42pairing of two of the most exciting cities in the world. I am convinced that there will be tremendous
00:50growth that comes from this. People-to-people ties drive business and trade and investment
00:57and we look forward to seeing the products of this over the next months and years.
01:04The Emirates brand of excellence is I think going to make a tremendous impact in the Montreal market.
01:11It's clear that people are interested in this flight given what I understand to be a very very
01:18high sellout rate for this flight. I think that this is a major opportunity for the two countries
01:25to get to know each other in a different way. People of course know Toronto because they've
01:30been traveling to Toronto for years. Now they'll have a chance to get to know Montreal
01:35which is a tremendously exciting and important cultural and business center on its own.
