Two more freighters for Air Canada
Air Canada's Q1/2022 cargo revenue grew 42% to CAD 398 million (EUR 290 million) from the first quarter of 2021. Jason Berry, VP Cargo: "I am thrilled that Air Canada Cargo continues to be one of the fastest growing cargo carriers year over year thanks to the strength of Air Canada’s global network and the addition of dedicated freighter capacity. With the aircraft that had been temporarily converted to carry cargo in the cabin returning to passenger service, we are happy to now have two converted Boeing 767-300BDSF freighters in operation."
Air Canada also announced the acquisition of two new, factory-built Boeing 767-300 freighters. They are to be delivered this year and will complement the eight 767-300s that are being converted for cargo operations. (ah)
