Mar 11, 2014 (newstodate): Icelandair Cargo has named a new cargo GSSA to provide sales in the Canadian market with effect from March 1, 2014.
Newly contracted is the Canadian company Exp-Air Cargo with offices in Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary and Winnipeg.
Icelandair Cargo is selling the cargo capacity on the airline's Boeing 757-200 passenger flights to Toronto and Halifax.
In the pipeline is a route between Keflavik Airport and Edmonton, which would be the carrier's third Canadian destination after Halifax and Toronto.
Icelandair first started seasonal flights to Halifax in May 1996 but pulled out again from October 2001. Seasonal services on the route were, however, returned starting from June 1, 2013.
Flights from Keflavik to Toronto have been operated seasonally since spring 2008 and were turned into an year-round destination from the summer 2013 schedule.
In 2007, Iceland and Canada signed an Open Skies Agreement, replacing the former Memorandum of Understanding on Air Services that has allowed operations to Canada by Icelandair, the flag carrier of Iceland, since 1995.
The Open Skies Agreement allows unlimited traffic for both passenger and cargo flights.
