This marks Air Canada's third Southeast Asia destination added in two years. The announcement coincides with the Canadian government's trade mission in the Philippines.
"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, Revenue and Network Planning, and President, 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. 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."
The new route is part of Air Canada's broader Pacific expansion, with over 180 weekly flights planned between Canada and the region next summer.
