Air Canada Cargo’s new cold chain handling facility at
Air Canada has declared the inauguration of Air Canada Cargo’s new cold chain handling facility at its Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) cargo facility. The $16-million project was undertaken to expand and enhance Air Canada Cargo’s cold chain handling capabilities for shipments such as pharmaceuticals, fresh meals, and other perishables.
- “This is an exciting day for Air Canada Cargo as we take another action forward in our evolution,” commented Jason Berry, Vice President, Cargo at Air Canada.
“The enhanced temperature-controlled facility is the only one of its kind for a Canadian airline and positions Air Canada Cargo to continue successfully developing our business, including the launch of our reliable freighter plane. This investment, and the others that are to heed, will permit us to competently serve our customers and I am very excited for what the future holds for Air Canada Cargo.”

The upgraded facility will feature over 30,000ft2 temperature-controlled areas and an expanded cooler to completely meet the needs of cold chain shipments, such as pharmaceuticals, fresh food, and different perishables.
These enhancements are the first action in a multi-year investment plan for the facility and are part of several scheduled infrastructure investment projects for Air Canada Cargo.

To donate to Air Canada‘s long-term net-zero emissions goal, the renovations included the installation of energy-efficient equipment such as temperature controls that will constantly monitor the conditions inside the facility and only regulate the temperature as needed, resulting in reduced energy consumption.
As well, rapid roll-up doors have been established to minimize the energy loss when the cooler is accessed to store or retrieve goods. LED lighting has been installed throughout the facility, further reducing energy consumption.
