WestJet Cargo expands freighter services, adds new routes

WestJet Cargo will expand its cargo services with its Winter schedule. Calgary, Canada-based airline Westjet is introducing Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic; Bridgetown, Barbados; and Kingston, Jamaica to its passenger network, which is set to boost the reach of the airline’s cargo business.
WestJet Cargo’s service to Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic will be officially re-launched on October 29. Cargo services will be offered to and from Puerto Plata, on multiple weekly passenger flights. Each flight will offer two tonnes of cargo capacity. The rotation for this route is Toronto – Puerto Plata – Toronto. In the Dominican Republic, WestJet Cargo currently provides cargo capacity on its passenger services to Punta Cana from Calgary and Toronto.

Additionally, services to Bridgetown, Barbados, will start on November 8. Like Puerto Plata, cargo services will be re-launched to this destination after they were suspended in early 2020.
