Cargojet will increase its capacity between North America and Europe this month with the launch of an additional service to Liège, Belgium.
The Canadian freighter operator said the new Wednesday service beginning 23 September builds on its established weekend service.
This new service to the Belgian freighter hub will be operated with a Boeing 767 freighter on the Hamilton – Halifax – Liège – Hamilton route.
Cargojet said the service advances its One Network strategy by integrating domestic overnight, ACMI and charter operations across an expanding network of international markets.
“This expansion demonstrates the power of our One Network strategy—connecting our domestic overnight network with our international operations to deliver greater reach, flexibility and value for our customers,” said Pauline Dhillon, chief executive, Cargojet.
“Growing demand from customers across Central and Western Europe for our weekend Liège service created an opportunity to add mid-week capacity and provide customers with a more seamless, fully connected solution between Canada, Europe and beyond.”
The carrier entered the scheduled European market with the launch of a Liege connection last year. Previously, Cargojet only offered a charter operation to Europe.
According to Planespotters, Cargojet has a fleet comprising 16 757Fs, 25 767Fs, mostly passenger to freighter (P2F) conversions.
Cargojet saw both its revenues and profits grow in the second quarter of the year as higher fuel prices, contractual price increases and new charter opportunities affected performance.
