WestJet Cargo is launching its new Priority product, available across the WestJet Cargo network starting November 4, 2024. This premium offering gives eligible cargo top priority for loading and transport, guaranteeing that shipments travel on specific flights.
Designed to meet the needs of industries requiring fast, reliable transportation of critical goods, such as healthcare and manufacturing, Priority features reduced tender cut-off times at WestJet Cargo’s main hubs—Calgary (YYC), Vancouver (YVR) and Toronto (YYZ) – with plans to expand to more hubs in the future. For narrowbody flights, the cut-off time is shortened to just 2 hours before departure instead of the usual 3 hours, while widebody flights require 3 hours instead of the usual 6 hours. In the unlikely event that a Priority shipment does not fly as confirmed, the Priority charge will be fully refunded, as per a release.
