Air Canada launching non-stop Vancouver-Manila flights starting April 2025

Air Canada on Friday announced its plan to launch non-stop flights between Manila and Vancouver beginning April 2025.

In a news release, Air Canada said the non-stop Manila-Vancouver flights would be its third Southeast Asia destination launched in the last two years.

The new route —to and from Ninoy Aquino International Airport and Vancouver International Airport— will operate four times weekly beginning April 2, 2025, using the airline's flagship Dreamliner aircraft. 

The flight schedule for the new route would be as follows:

"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,” said Mark Galardo, executive vice president for Revenue and Network Planning, and president of Cargo at Air Canada.

“The Philippines is an important market reflecting longstanding family ties between our two countries with growing business connections and tourism opportunities,” said Galardo.

Air Canada said the new flights between Vancouver and Manila will be the 12th route in its transpacific network origination from Vancouver, which includes Japan, South Korea, People's Republic of China, Hong Kong SAR, Thailand, Singapore, Australia, and New Zealand.

Flights from Canada to Manila can be purchased starting today on aircanada.com, through Air Canada's contact centers, and via travel agents. Flights for bookings originating in Manila to Canada will be available for sale shortly.—LDF, GMA Integrated News
