Air Canada is expanding its international network with new nonstop flights between Vancouver and Manila in the Philippines.

Launching April 2, 2025, the new route between Vancouver International Airport (YVR) and Manila Ninoy Aquino International Airport (MNL) will operate year round, four times weekly on the airline’s flagship Dreamliner aircraft.

This marks Air Canada’s third Southeast Asian destination launched in the last two years, and the 12th route in its transpacific network from Vancouver, which includes Japan, South Korea, People’s Republic of China, Hong Kong SAR, Thailand, Singapore, Australia and New Zealand. It also builds off the airline’s recent additions in fast-growing markets into Southeast Asia, including Singapore and Bangkok, to more than double summer season seat capacity over the Pacific since 2022.

With this new service, Air Canada will offer over 180 weekly flights between Canada and the Pacific, the most nonstop flights of any carrier in the market.

Manila Flight Schedule

The Boeing 787 Dreamline features three cabins of service, including Signature Class with lie-flat seats, Premium Economy, and Economy Class. Air Canada’s complimentary and extensive in-flight entertainment programming features more than 1,400 hours of movies, 1,900 hours of television shows, and more than 600 hours of music and podcasts and, where available, live TV at every seat. Eligible customers also have access to the Vancouver Air Canada Signature Suite offering à la carte dining and premium beverage options, as well as the Air Canada International Maple leaf Lounge.
