Priority product for time-sensitive shipments
Westjet Cargo is set to launch its new ‘Priority’ product, available on the WestJet Cargo network starting today, 4 November 2024. This premium offering gives eligible cargo top priority for loading and transport, guaranteeing that shipments travel on specific flights.
Designed to meet the needs of industries requiring fast, reliable transports of critical goods, such as healthcare and manufacturing, ‘Priority’ features reduced tender cut-off times at Westjet Cargo's main hubs - Calgary (YYC), Vancouver (YVR), and Toronto (YYZ) - with plans to expand to more hubs in the future.
For narrowbody flights, the cut-off time is shortened to just two hours before departure instead of the usual three hours, while widebody flights require three hours instead of the usual six hours. In the unlikely event that a ‘Priority’ shipment does not fly as confirmed, the extra charge will be fully refunded. (cj)
