Philippine Airlines (PAL) is expanding its North American network with additional nonstop flights to Vancouver, Toronto and New York, providing customers with more travel options while strengthening connectivity between the Philippines, Canada, the United States and Southeast Asia.
Beginning November and December 2026, PAL will:
• Increase Manila–Vancouver services from 7 to 10 weekly flights effective November 17, 2026;
• Increase Manila–Toronto services from 3 to 4 weekly flights effective December 5, 2026; and
• Increase Manila–New York (JFK) services from 3 to 4 weekly flights effective December 2, 2026, with a fifth weekly flight during the peak December 2026–January 2027 holiday travel season.
The expanded services further strengthen Philippine Airlines’ leadership in the Philippines–North America market and reinforce its position as the leading Southeast Asian carrier operating the most nonstop flights between the region and North America.
“North America continues to be one of Philippine Airlines’ most important markets,” said Richard Nuttall, President of Philippine Airlines. “As travel demand grows, these additional flights strengthen our position as the preferred nonstop carrier between the Philippines and North America whilst providing our customers with greater choice, improved connectivity, and more opportunities to travel, do business, and reconnect with family and loved ones. As the Philippine flag carrier, we remain committed to supporting tourism, trade and economic ties between the Philippines and our key North American markets.”
The additional North America frequencies will improve connectivity via Manila to key destinations across Southeast Asia, including Jakarta, Bali, Phnom Penh, Bangkok, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and Hanoi. Through PAL’s partnerships with American Airlines, Alaska Airlines and WestJet, customers will also enjoy seamless onward connections to numerous destinations across the United States and Canada.
The expanded schedule will likewise provide additional cargo capacity to support growing trade, e-commerce and high-value shipments between the Philippines and North America.
Additional Toronto and New York services will initially be operated by the Airbus A350-900 before transitioning to PAL’s new Airbus A350-1000 as additional aircraft join the fleet. The A350-1000 will also begin serving San Francisco beginning August 2026, offering more premium seating and further strengthening PAL’s competitiveness on the U.S. West Coast.
The expanded North American schedule and the commencement of 3x per week Manila to Chicago flights beginning November 9, 2026 form part of Philippine Airlines’ long-term network growth strategy, strengthening Manila’s role as a premier gateway between North America and Southeast Asia while supporting tourism, business, investment and cargo opportunities across the Pacific.
