CARGO: GENERAL INFO

One call does it all. Call Canadian North toll free at 1-866-663-2223 for pick up and delivery anywhere in Canada.

Door to door to door. Coast to coast to coast.

Move it quickly, move it safely every step of the way: that's the promise of Canadian North Cargo. With a heavy reliance on air cargo, the communities in the north are well served by Canadian North's use of the 737 combination cargo/passenger aircraft. 

Canadian North offers a number of products and services designed to make the big job of transporting goods around the north quicker and easier. We'll help you get your cargo to its destination safely and efficiently.

Cargo Service Update

In response to increased cargo demand, we've added dedicated cargo capacity into Yellowknife and the Mackenzie Valley. Our seven days a week cargo service into Norman Wells and Inuvik now includes:

  • 737 Combi - Daily service with dedicated cargo space.
     
  • Daily Dash 8 service to many of our northern destinations.
     
  • Supplemental ground transportation feeder network to ensure that shipments move quickly to their final destination.
     
  • These changes will provide enhanced consistency of delivery for all freight, particularly Guaranteed Shipments (GAD) and Express Shipments (EXP). For information about outsize priority shipments and if you have any questions or comments please contact Mike Lang at mlang@canadiannorth.com or 867-669-4031.
