 Air
Canada put out some figures last Friday and Matthieu
Casey, Senior Director, Cargo
Global Sales and Revenue Optimization could not be happier.
“We’re tremendously proud of the strongest quarterly results
Air Canada Cargo has ever  seen,”
Matt (left) told PumpingTraffic, adding “Those numbers
and that effort is a testament to our continued efforts to maintain stable
and consistent capacity flows for our customers across the globe through
cargo-only flying. Our team achieved a record
USD$358 million in Cargo revenue
for the second quarter, which represents an increase
of USD$89 million, or 33%
compared to the same quarter in 2020. We’re relieved to see our passenger
network starting to rebuild and continue to provide cargo-only flying in
markets where capacity is still constrained. With arrival of our first 767
freighters in Q4, the combination of these, our continued cargo-only flying
and passenger flights resuming paints a strong portrait for the rest of
the year.” . . . Canada
