Air Canada and Air Canada Cargo announced the addition of Chicago to its freighter network, starting June 2.
The service will operate three times per week with a Boeing 767 freighter, connecting Air Canada Cargo’s global hub in Toronto with its selfhandled warehouse operation in Chicago, according to a press release from Air Canada.
Jon Turner, Vice President, Cargo, Air Canada says: “We are excited to add Chicago to Air Canada Cargo’s robust network, achieved through the strategic use of our freighters and the global reach of Air Canada’s extensive passenger network. In Chicago, we also leverage our extensive trucking network to extend our reach, adding to Air Canada Cargo’s competitive edge. As a true global combination carrier, adding Chicago further expands on our commitment to provide consistent capacity to our valued customers and respond to the demands of the market.”
Earlier this month, Air Canada awarded a passenger, ramp and cargo handling contract to SATS as it plans to resume flights to Singapore’s Changi International Airport for the first time in over 30 years.
