Calgary-based passenger carrier WestJet has been flying cargo all over Canada since the carrier got off the ground in 1996 with a handful of Boeing 737s, but recently officials started working to expand Westjet’s freight presence beyond the 21 domestic locations it currently serves.
According to Darcy McCrimmon, Westjet’s manager of business development, the carrier will start flying freight to and from a few locations in the U.S. — possibly Miami and Los Angeles — on July 1, with routings out of Mexico scheduled for the third quarter. Officials have already started accepting cargo from the Dominican Republic.
