Three new routes in a row
As part of its expanded summer schedule, Canadian air cargo carrier Westjet Cargo is launching three new destinations in a row: Chicago (ORD), Moncton (YQM), and Incheon (ICN).
The Chicago route was opened for cargo sales on 16 May. It now connects Calgary to the US city three times a week. It will increase its frequency to daily flights by 17 June and will continue to operate year-round. Operating with 737 aircraft, this route offers cargo capacities of 2,700 kg per flight, focusing on the transport of perishables.
This route addresses increasing demand and marks the opening of Westjet Cargo's passenger belly network in addition to the weekly freighter that already operates into Chicago.
"These new routes will significantly enhance our ability to serve the Canadian market by offering greater capacity and more options for our customers," said Kirsten De Bruijn, executive vice president of Westjet Cargo." (cj)
