MANILA, Philippines — Philippine Airlines on Friday announced it is expanding its nonstop services to Vancouver, Toronto and New York, offering travelers more flight options to North America.
Beginning in November and December 2026, the flag carrier will increase Manila–Vancouver flights from seven to 10 weekly services starting November 17; Manila–Toronto flights from three to four weekly beginning December 5; and Manila–New York (JFK) flights from three to four weekly effective December 2. A fifth weekly New York flight will also be added during the peak December 2026–January 2027 holiday travel season.
"North America continues to be one of Philippine Airlines' most important markets. As travel demand grows, these additional flights strengthen our position as the preferred nonstop carrier between the Philippines and North America while providing our customers with greater choice, improved connectivity, and more opportunities to travel, do business, and reconnect with family and loved ones," Philippine Airlines President Richard Nuttall said.
The airline said the expanded North American schedule, along with the launch of three-times-weekly Manila–Chicago flights beginning November 9, 2026, forms part of its long-term network growth strategy. The expansion aims to strengthen Manila's role as a premier gateway between North America and Southeast Asia while supporting tourism, business, investment and cargo opportunities across the Pacific.
