Our EBITDA margin of 35.4% in this quarter vs. 32.9% prior year clearly demonstrates that our cost management initiatives are yielding the desired results,” said Dr. Ajay Virmani, President and CEO.
“While we expect economic conditions to remain difficult, the shift in consumer spending towards travel and leisure vs goods is expected to normalize towards the end of this year. The Cargojet team continues to be industry leaders providing a 99.6% on-time performance in the quarter. Our focus remains on delivering exceptional reliability and customer service” noted Dr. Virmani.
