“Over the past several years, Cargojet has evolved its business model that is increasingly based on strategic partnerships rather than transactional relationships with its customers,” said Dr. Ajay Virmani, President and CEO.

“By aligning our long-term commercial interests, we expect greater endurance of volumes with our strategic customers even if global volumes soften during a recessionary period.”

“The continued global increase in e-commerce demand has produced strong growth in our Domestic and ACMI business segments during the Quarter. We continue to monitor various macro risks including a potential recession, which may have impact on consumer spending. As such, Cargojet continues to carefully manage its strategy to match the capacity required with actual customer demand,” further noted Dr. Virmani.

“Our team once again rose to the challenge of delivering another strong quarter with 99.7% on-time performance. I am incredibly proud and grateful to the entire Cargojet team for continuing to deliver excellence while delivering strong revenue growth,” concluded Dr. Virmani.
