Air Canada charging publications in the second mixed quarter
Air Canada Cargo made a stable performance in the second quarter of 2025, as it contributed to the broader financial results of the airline during a period of softening the demand through the global aviation sector.
In its quarterly profits, Air Canada noted that goods operations, along with its departments in the vacation and loyalty program, played a role in supporting the total revenue, which amounted to $ 5.63 billion – compared to 2 percent of the same period last year.
President and CEO Michael Rousseau described the shipping department as a “major column for our various works”, highlighting its continuous importance despite the opposite winds through the shipping industry.
Air Canada currently runs six Boeing 767 charging aircraft, which have been transferred from passenger service. The broad shipping companies serve these scheduled roads and charter and have become a major part of the after -birth shipping strategy.
While specific revenue numbers for the shipping sector have not been revealed, the financial statements indicate that the operating costs associated with charging activity (except for fuel) increased modestly to $ 42 million in the second quarter, compared to $ 38 million during the same period in 2024.
In the first half of 2025, the costs related to shipping $ 84 million amounted to an increase of $ 73 million in the previous year. The company classifies these expenses separately from the basic passengers, noting that the shipping does not generate the available seat miles (ASM), which is the standard scale used in the performance of passengers.
Cost increases reflect continuous activity instead of any significant expansion. The sizes remained throughout the global flaming market on the plane under pressure this year, where the capacity and moderate shipping are recovered after the postpartum boom. However, it appears that Air Canada Cargo maintains a consistent operational pace, with the help of targeted services in sectors such as e -commerce, auto parts and pharmaceutical preparations.
Strateically, the airline continues to place the goods as a long -term supplement for its passenger network. In early 2025, Mark Gallardo-head of network planning-CEO and Cargo CEO, a role that includes supervising the commercial operations of the shipping fleet.
The cautious approach to the airline comes with the rise in jet fuel prices, with the Air Canada review of its entire public assumption to $ 0.92 per liter, up to its previous estimate of $ 0.88. In this context, the disciplined shipping process provides a useful diversification, but it is unlikely to pay the title growth.
