Air Canada Cargo offers cargo services on domestic and trans-border flights, using the cargo capacity on aircraft operated by Air Canada and Air Canada Jazz on domestic and trans-border routes. Air Canada offers cargo services on its international passenger flights and also uses chartered, all-freighter aircraft for Canada - Europe and Canada - Asia services.

In March 2021, Air Canada Cargo quietly launched an e-commerce business under a brand name called Rivo, through which Air Canada partnered with last-mile and first-mile providers to provide point-to-point delivery in Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Winnipeg, Toronto, Ottawa, Montréal, Halifax, and St. John's. Air Canada Cargo is "not expecting to replace major players in this area, but this market is growing and [Air Canada Cargo] have the skills and the technology now to take advantage of that marketplace.[1]”

Fleet & Destinations
See also: Air Canada fleet

With direct cargo service to over 150 cities and global coverage to over 450 more through interline partnerships and a vast trucking network, Air Canada serves major markets around the world.

Starting during the COVID-19 pandemic, Air Canada Cargo began using temporarily modified Boeing 777 and Airbus A330 aircraft, which have additional available cargo space due to the removal of seats from the passenger cabin.[2]

Air Canada Cargo's core cargo fleet will comprise up to 25 Air Canada Rouge Boeing 767-300ER aircraft, the first of which entered service on December 9 2021, servicing Vancouver International Airport from Toronto Pearson International Airport to address supply chain issues in the aftermath of the November 2021 Pacific Northwest floods[3]. The dedicated cargo aircraft will operate on routes linking Toronto to Frankfurt, Miami, Quito, Lima, Mexico City and Guadalajara (the first time Air Canada Cargo will serve this destination). Additional destinations to be served in early 2022 include Halifax, St. John's, and Madrid as more freighters enter service.[4]
