Air Canada Cargo has announced the expansion of its freighter network for the upcoming winter season, adding new service from its Toronto global hub to Amsterdam (AMS), Monterrey (MTY) and Panama City (PTY). The additions provide customers with dedicated main-deck capacity across key transatlantic and Latin American trade lanes.

The twice-weekly service to Amsterdam, The Netherlands, begins October 29 and marks a strengthening of its transatlantic service for Air Canada Cargo’s dedicated freighter operation. Together, the three freighter destinations broaden Air Canada Cargo’s scheduled freighter offering from Toronto and create additional routing options between Europe, Canada and Latin America.

Service to Amsterdam complements Air Canada’s passenger flights to the city, while Monterrey and Panama City deepen freighter connectivity to important manufacturing and distribution markets in Mexico and Central America.

“The introduction of our freighters in Amsterdam is an important step in strengthening our European network. This gives us dedicated main-deck capacity at a time of year when transatlantic capacity is more constrained, helping us better serve customers in the Netherlands and across Europe while creating opportunities to connect their cargo through our global network,” said Matthieu Casey, Managing Director, Commercial – Cargo at Air Canada. “Together with new freighter service to Monterrey and Panama City, these additions enhance two-way connectivity between Europe and our growing Latin American network, creating more opportunities to reach key markets such as Quito, Lima, Bogotá and Mexico City.”

"As Canada’s largest airport for international trade and cargo, Toronto Pearson plays a critical role in connecting Canadian businesses to global markets,” said Carl Jones, Head of Aviation Business Development, Toronto Pearson. “Our longstanding relationship with Air Canada helps ensure the reliable movement of goods that support businesses, strengthen supply chains and drive economic growth. This expanded service reinforces trade links between Canada, Europe and Latin America, creating new opportunities for businesses and improving access to key global markets.”
