FP/CP say Cargojet now seen as more of a pure play

2024-02-27 08:47 ET - In the News

The Financial Post reports in its Tuesday edition that last month, Cargojet said it would scale down its fleet expansion by scrapping the purchase of four Boeing 777 airliners. A Canadian Press dispatch to the Post reports that the move came after Cargojet nixed the other four 777s in its initial eight-plane order announced in March, 2022. RBC Capital Markets analyst Walter Spracklin said in a note to investors: "The move that now centres almost entirely on 767s will see the benefit of a singular fleet that can be more effectively operated at lower cost. We now view Cargojet as much more of a pure-play domestic overnight business and see the (plane leasing) business as filling in the gaps for aircraft utilization." The change in plans came alongside a change in leadership. On Jan. 1, Cargojet went through with a C-suite shuffle announced in November, as then-chief executive officer Ajay Virmani became executive chairman and yielded his top spot to chief corporate officer Pauline Dhillon and chief strategy officer Jamie Porteous -- now co-chief executive officers. In the quarter ended Dec. 31, Cargojet reported that revenue fell 6 per cent to $254.7-million from $271-million in the same period a year earlier.
