Canadian airline allocates new Boeing freighters to better serve Canada
Canada's second largest national air carrier, WestJet, has announced the launch of a dedicated cargo service.
The Boeing 737-800 Converted Freighter (BCF) will carry large cargo to meet the increased needs of Canadian businesses. WestJet Cargo will also begin serving freight forwarders, shippers and individual customers. The first dedicated Boeing freighter is expected to depart in the second quarter of 2022.
WestJet has been successfully providing commercial guest services for 25 years, providing all customers with reliable and timely service, as well as quite competitive market value for its services.
Company officials describe the Boeing freighter, based on the Boeing 737-800 passenger jet, as an airliner that loads quickly, flies well and consumes fuel economically. These specialized, fuel-efficient and maneuverable narrow-body freighters will make WestJet Cargo an even more dynamic and powerful competitor.
The excellent performance of the Boeing 737-800 BCF will enable WestJet Cargo to offer its customers more flexible and frequent departure schedules. In the very near future, WestJet Cargo's scheduled flights on a variety of routes will be able to meet all the needs of customers requiring cargo transportation. The new cargo aircraft will be operated by pilots with the highest qualifications.
Over the course of 2022, WestJet Cargo plans to gradually increase its fleet of Boeing 737-800 BCF freighters to work in tandem with WestJet's existing cargo business.
