Air Canada adds freighter destinations for winter season

Air Canada on Monday announced the expansion of its freighter network for the upcoming winter season, adding new service from its Toronto global hub to Amsterdam, Monterrey, Mexico, and Panama City, Panama. The additions provide customers with dedicated, large-pallet capacity on key transatlantic and Latin American trade lanes, and create additional routing options between Europe, Canada and Latin America. The twice-weekly service to Amsterdam begins Oct. 29, Air Canada Cargo ( TSX: AC ) said in a news release. Service to Amsterdam complements Air Canada’s passenger flights to the city, while Monterrey and Panama City deepen freighter connectivity to important manufacturing and distribution markets in Mexico and Central America.
