Exciting news for travelers and aviation enthusiasts as Air Canada announces its upcoming debut flight to the Philippines! The renowned airline has unveiled plans for non-stop flights connecting Vancouver International Airport (YVR) to Manila's Ninoy Aquino International Airport (MNL). Commencing in the spring of 2025, the inaugural flight is scheduled for April 2, 2025, marking a significant milestone in Air Canada's expanding global reach.

Operating four times a week, these new flights will utilize Air Canada's top-notch Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft, offering passengers a luxurious travel experience across three distinct cabins: Signature Class boasting lie-flat seats, Premium Economy, and Economy Class. The addition of Manila to Air Canada's transpacific network from Vancouver, already encompassing destinations like Japan, South Korea, China, Hong Kong, Thailand, Singapore, Australia, and New Zealand, further solidifies the airline's commitment to enhancing travel options for its passengers.

Highlighting the growing connection between the two countries, recent statistics reveal the substantial Filipino population in Canada, with approximately 757,410 individuals reporting Filipino heritage in the 2021 Canadian Census of Population. Furthermore, the tourism sector has witnessed a steady influx of Canadian visitors to the Philippines, as reflected in the Philippine Department of Tourism's data, which positions Canada as the fifth-highest source of international tourist arrivals in the country, recording over 50,000 visits in 2023.
