Cargojet, Canada’s leading provider of air cargo services, and Canadian North, the Arctic’s leading airline, today unveiled a renewed cargo partnership aimed at increasing capacity to better serve Canada’s Arctic. The renewal deepens a 20-year relationship, furthering their joint mission to connect and support remote and northern communities.
The renewed partnership signifies a major increase in cargo capacity, a strategic move by Cargojet and Canadian North to address the rapidly growing needs of Canada’s Arctic. This expansion will enable more frequent and efficient deliveries, ensuring that remote and northern communities in Canada’s Arctic have reliable access to essential supplies.
Under the renewed partnership, Cargojet will be the exclusive provider for air cargo from Winnipeg and Ottawa to Iqaluit, while Canadian North will continue to deliver air cargo across Canada’s Arctic. This builds upon Canadian North’s recent announcement to double the size of its cargo facility in Ottawa by 2026, which not only serves as an integral gateway for Inuit communities but also underscores its unwavering commitment to expanding services in the Arctic.
Together, Cargojet and Canadian North are committed to fostering prosperity in Canada’s Arctic by advancing the well-being of Inuit communities through a strengthened partnership dedicated to efficient and reliable cargo transportation.
Quick Facts
Cargojet and Canadian North have been partners for more than 22 years. This renewed partnership extends a longstanding relationship by another 5 years. Every year, Cargojet assists Canadian North in flying over 10.6 million kilograms of cargo, which is equivalent to approximately 1,000 polar bears. Canadian North serves as an integral gateway to Inuit communities, facilitating essential cargo transportation to these remote regions. Many of these communities lack year-round land or marine access to the rest of the country, making air transport a vital lifeline for their needs. As an Inuit-owned airline, Canadian North is committed to supporting its northern communities through reduced fares and discounted cargo rates for country food, snowmobiles, and ATVs to all Inuit land claim agreement beneficiaries in Nunavik, Nunavut, and the Northwest Territories.Canadian North route map:
