WestJet Cargo Ceases Dedicated Freighter Operations Amid Market Normalisation

WestJet Cargo is discontinuing its dedicated freighter operations, marking a significant strategic shift for the Canadian airline. The decision comes as the domestic air cargo market in Canada has cooled and stabilized after a period of high demand. Consequently, the airline's partnership with the GTA Group, which operated its Boeing 737-800 freighters, is ending. WestJet will now refocus its cargo strategy on utilizing the belly-hold capacity of its expanding passenger aircraft network. This move reflects a broader normalisation within the Canadian air freight sector.
