Canadian air cargo carrier, WestJet Cargo, is expanding its trans-Pacific capacity with the launch of a daily year-round service between Calgary and Tokyo Narita International Airport.<\/p>\n

Operated by WestJet\u2019s Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft, each flight on the route between North America and Asia offers 22 tonnes and 80 cubic meters of cargo capacity.<\/p>\n

Julius Mooney, director of commercial at WestJet Cargo, said: “Expanding our cargo capacity to Japan through daily Dreamliner service is a pivotal step forward for WestJet Cargo. This route enables Canadian exporters and global shippers to move high-value and time-sensitive goods with speed and reliability, while also strengthening Western Canada\u2019s role as a key gateway to Asia.\u201d<\/p>\n

The carrier says this enhanced service supports strong bilateral trade. Japan is exporting industrial, automotive, electronic, high-tech, and manufacturing goods through WestJet Cargo\u2019s growing network across Canada, the US, Mexico, and Europe. In return, Canadian perishables, meat, seafood, and general freight are reaching Japan faster and more efficiently than ever before.<\/p>\n

WestJet Cargo<\/a> says that bookings on the route are available through its digital partners – CargoAi, WebCargo, and cargo.one.<\/p>\n

The cargo expansion complements WestJet\u2019s daily year-round passenger service to Tokyo and its broadened codeshare with Japan Airlines, providing smooth onward connectivity to Osaka and Nagoya, and reinforcing Calgary\u2019s growing role in global trade and logistics.<\/p>\n
