Canada Freighters Come October |
If you were wondering when a major airline in the Americas would step up to the plate and make a big announcement of a deeper commitment to the all-cargo business, well that just happened as Jason Berry, Vice President, Cargo at Air Canada delivered some history-making news Monday June 14. Right now Air Canada/Air Canada Cargo is in the process of converting several of its Boeing 767 aircraft into dedicated freighters with the first converted 767 freighter scheduled to enter service in October, from Toronto Pearson International Airport, on routes linking Toronto to Miami, Quito, Lima, Mexico City and a new route to Guadalajara, the first time Air Canada Cargo will serve this destination. “We believe in the future of air cargo! “Our new freighter fleet will provide long-term stability and growth for our cargo customers, in particular the freight forwarding community who require reliable air freight capacity year-round. “Air Canada Cargo is building on the success of our cargo-only flights. “I am excited to have these aircraft enter service, a milestone for Air Canada Cargo that also opens up a world of opportunities for us and our customers.” Additional destinations to be served in early 2022, include Halifax, St. John's, Madrid and Frankfurt as more freighters enter service. “Air Canada Cargo will enhance its capabilities to transport goods such as automotive and aerospace parts, oil and gas equipment, pharmaceuticals, perishables, as well as handling the growing demand for fast, reliable shipment of e-commerce goods.” Since March 2020, Air Canada has operated more than 9,000 all-cargo flights using its wide-body passenger aircraft as well as certain temporarily modified Boeing 777 and Airbus A330 aircraft, which have additional available cargo space due to the removal of seats from the passenger cabin.
