Air Canada to connect Vancouver hub to Manila
Air Canada announced the strategic expansion of its route network with the addition of a new non-stop flight, between its Vancouver International Airport (YVR) hub and Manila Ninoy Aquino International Airport (MNL) in the Philippines. The service will operate four times weekly with three class Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft, commencing 2nd April 2025.
Air Canada Executive Vice President, Revenue and Network Planning, and President, Mark Galardo said "We are thrilled to add Manila to our global network with new, year-round, non-stop service from Vancouver, Air Canada's Pacific gateway hub. We continue to pursue our international network strategy of expanding to large, fast-growing markets that are presently unserved directly by Air Canada. The Philippines is an important market reflecting longstanding family ties between our two countries with growing business connections and tourism opportunities. With an extensive domestic and transborder network in Vancouver designed to connect seamlessly to our international flights, we are making travel between North America and the Philippines even more convenient for leisure and business travellers alike. It is with great excitement that we look forward to welcoming our customers onboard next spring,"
