WestJet Cargo has expanded its network, following the successful integration of Sunwing Airlines into the WestJet Group. The addition of Sunwing's 18 737 aircraft into the WestJet fleet brings enhanced cargo capacity and new freight service opportunities across key Caribbean destinations.
WestJet Cargo will offer increased capacity to Holguin, Santa Clara, and Varadero in Cuba, with up to 2.5 tonnes of additional cargo space available per flight.
“This aircraft capacity is a welcome addition, both for increased belly cargo throughput in Eastern Canada and for guest connectivity through WestJet Airlines,” said WestJet director of commercial cargo Julius Mooney.
In addition, daily freight service is also introduced between Montreal and Varadero, and four times weekly service is added between Montreal and Holguin.
Capacity growth is complemented by an increase to daily service between Toronto and Cancun, Montego Bay and Punta Cana, while service is also increased between Toronto and Puerto Plata to three times weekly, and between Toronto and Liberia to twice weekly.
