WORLD ROUTES: Philippine Airlines is Flying to Toronto Pearson

Toronto Pearson Airport has confirmed that Philippine Airlines will be starting service to The Canadian city of Toronto this autumn. Direct services to Manila from Toronto Pearson are not currently available so this is positive news for the more than 200,000 Filipinos living in the Toronto area.

The service will be offered three times a week beginning on November 30, 2012 using a Boeing 777-300ER aircraft. The routing for the flights will be direct from Manila to Toronto with the return flight going via Vancouver.

In 2011, Toronto Pearson handled 33.4 million passengers and is ranked 4th largest in international passenger traffic in North America. The focus of Toronto Pearson continues to be on competitiveness, growing the airport's status as an international gateway, meeting the needs of its guests and ensuring the long-term success of the organisation, its airline customers and the regional economy.
