Air Canada Cargo has taken delivery of the first of eight Boeing 767-300 freighters to its fleet.
The carrier said that these freighters will provide “consistent capacity on key air cargo routes, starting with Europe and the Americas, to facilitate the movement of goods globally”.
The expanded main deck and structural modifications of the newly modified freighters will offer five different main deck configurations, increasing the overall cargo capacity of each Boeing 767 to over 57 tonnes (438 cubic metres).
With approximately 75% of this capacity being on the main deck, the expanded doors allow the Canadian airline to effectively load full-sized pallets and containers, and each compartment is designed for appropriate temperature control to handle specialized and perishable commodities or any of the other Air Canada Cargo shipping solutions.
Specifications:
- Total volume: 438 m3 (15,469 ft3)
- Main deck: 336 m3 (11,884 ft3)
- Lower deck: 102 m3 (3,585 ft3)
