Air Canada Cargo is expanding its scheduled freighter network with new services to Amsterdam Schiphol in the Netherlands, Monterrey in Mexico and Panama City in Panama, strengthening cargo connectivity between Canada, Europe and Latin America.
The new routes will increase dedicated freighter capacity from Toronto while providing additional options for shippers moving goods between major manufacturing, distribution and international trade markets.
The Amsterdam service is scheduled to begin on 29 October, operating twice weekly. The flights will complement Air Canada’s existing passenger services to the Dutch capital, adding dedicated main-deck cargo capacity to the transatlantic market.

Services to Latin America will commence earlier, with flights to Monterrey starting on 26 October at a frequency of three times per week. The Panama City route is scheduled to launch on 25 October, with two weekly flights.
According to Air Canada Cargo, the additions will strengthen access to important manufacturing and distribution centres in Mexico and Central America while expanding routing options through its Toronto hub.
Matthieu Casey, managing director, commercial – cargo at Air Canada, said the Amsterdam service would reinforce the carrier’s European network and provide additional dedicated freighter capacity during a period when transatlantic capacity is more constrained.
He added that the new services would improve two-way connectivity between Europe, Canada and Latin America, creating additional opportunities to serve markets including Quito, Lima, Bogotá and Mexico City.
The expansion is also expected to support trade links through Toronto Pearson International Airport, a key gateway for Canadian international cargo operations.
Carl Jones, head of aviation business development at Toronto Pearson, said the expanded services would improve access to international markets and create new opportunities for businesses trading between Canada, Europe and Latin America.
The three routes form part of Air Canada Cargo’s broader effort to expand its scheduled freighter network and offer customers greater flexibility in moving shipments across key global trade lanes.
