The agreements will have a term of three years and will include two one-year renewal options.

Cargojet will continue to be the exclusive provider of overnight air cargo services in Canada to these customers. The total revenues represented by these contract renewals are estimated at more than C$150 million during the term of the new agreements, including extension options.

Structural changes in the nature of supply chains are resulting in significant growth in the demand for urgent air cargo services across Canada.
