More offerings between Canada and Italy
Working in tandem with Westjet commercial flights between Calgary and Rome, Westjet Cargo will offer approximately 120 t of weekly cargo capacity directly between these destinations on the airline's 787 Dreamliner. Westjet Cargo's shipments will provide increased capacity for a diverse array of goods including luxury fashion products, pharmaceuticals and e-commerce.
Prior to the launch of the flight, in 2021 alone, Westjet Cargo facilitated the delivery of more than 60,000 t of cargo to and from Italy to destinations in Canada and USA.
Bob Sartor, president & CEO, the Calgary Airport Authority: "This link is a tangible demonstration of our shared desire to build forward together in this important milestone year that marks the 75th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Canada and Italy."(cj)
