Canadian freighter airline Cargojet has extended its Air Transportation Services Agreement with Amazon Canada Fulfilment Services. The new contract allows for an additional four years of operations until 31 March 2029. Amazon will also have the option to renew the contract until 31 March 2031.
“This multi-year Contract underscores Cargojet’s role in Amazon’s logistics network. At the heart of our success is a dedicated Cargojet team that makes it happen every single day,” said Cargojet executive chairman Ajay Virmani.
Mississauga, Ontario-headquartered Cargojet has been working with Amazon for over five years now.
Amazon utilises Cargojet’s overnight air network and charter aircraft services to move packages from Amazon facilities to other Amazon or last-mile carrier locations before final delivery to customers.
In 2019, Amazon acquired a minority stake in Amazon. The e-commerce giant has also previously invested in US freighter operators ATSG and Atlas.
Cargojet flies to major cities across North America, as well as some destinations in Asia and Europe.
The airline carries over 25,000,000 pounds of cargo weekly and provides dedicated, ACMI, CMI and international charter services, as well as time-sensitive premium air cargo services.
Cargojet currently has 21 Boeing 767Fs and 16 Boeing 757Fs active in its fleet, according to fleet tracking website Planespotters. Cargojet is also due to take delivery of one further 767F and one more 757F.
