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.
