WestJet Cargo has announced the strengthening of its flights between Calgary and Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG). This route, operating 5-7 times weekly, underscores WestJet Cargo's commitment to expanding its footprint in Europe and enhancing service efficiency through strategic hubs.
Paris CDG acts as a central hub, enabling WestJet Cargo to connect with various destinations across Europe using multiple modes of transport. This connectivity is bolstered by the strong partnership with ECS Group. The route supports a diverse cargo base with a payload capacity of 18 tons, feeding and de-feeding various locations in France and beyond.
Kirsten de Bruijn, Executive Vice President of Cargo at WestJet, highlighted the strategic developments: "Our expansion into European markets through the Paris hub is a key part of our growth strategy. ECS Group's technological support and network have been indispensable in enhancing our service capabilities, allowing us to pursue new opportunities in additional European countries."
Jean Ceccaldi, Managing Director of Aero Cargo France - subsidiary of ECS Group, commented on the technology integration: "We're proud to support WestJet Cargo with our Quantum e-quotation system and Apollo business intelligence platform. These tools enable efficient management of cargo capacities and market analysis, supporting WestJet Cargo's goals of technological excellence and enhanced service delivery."
