CANADA's westjet Cargo has confirmed the launch and deployment of four dedicated Boeing 737-800 freighters on March 26, 2023, to meet the growing demand of the Canadian market.
'WestJet Cargo is about to enter a very promising and exciting period in its development,' says Kirsten De Bruijn, who was appointed to WestJet Cargo back in April of this year and has made some significant strives forward in the company.
'The arrival of our new fleet will enable us to meet the rising demand of the Canadian market, more than ever before.'
WestJet Cargo has offices located across major Canadian hubs in Vancouver and Toronto while its head office is located in Calgary, Alberta.
Ms De Bruijn has a long history within the aviation industry and also as one of the tops in a couple of big-time cargo airlines from the Middle East, such as being the senior vice president of cargo sales and network planning for Qatar Airways, where she was responsible for the entire marketing division for the cargo airline, overseeing product development and marketing, and was responsible for the freighter network planning department.
Before that, she was vice president for Emirates Sky Cargo and was part of Air France-KLM (Martinair).
'Kirsten has demonstrated consistent and proven success in driving strategic growth for an impressive portfolio of cargo businesses around the globe,' said WestJet's CEO Alexis von Hoensbroech.
'As WestJet Cargo enters a pivotal moment of providing much-needed competitive choice and prices to customers across our network and beyond, there is no better leader for the task.'
Ms De Bruijn is expected to play an instrumental role in building the airline's dedicated cargo capabilities and service offerings while growing 'a cargo organization capable of succeeding within a rapidly evolving market'.
'I am thrilled to be joining WestJet Cargo as the business sets sights on a competitive and aggressive expansion,' she said.
'With such a strong foundation supported by a growing fleet, team, and complementary network, I am confident that WestJet Cargo has a bright future ahead as we strive to bring customers more choices and caring customer service akin to the WestJet brand.'
