CIA Aero Leasing (ACIA) has entered the Canadian market with the delivery of one ATR 72-500 bulk freighter to Canadian North.
The jet was converted in Toulouse and will support the Inuit-owned airline’s operations on its vast and comprehensive route system that serves the cargo needs of more northern communities than any other air carrier in Canada.
“Canadian North is a world-class operator, and we are delighted to welcome them to our growing customer family,” said Elze Le Roux, ACIA Aero Leasing’s senior vice president, leasing & customer relationships.
“We needed a robust cargo aircraft and ACIA has delivered a solution. This is a great solution for our operation and the communities we serve in Canada’s northern airports," said Michael Rodyniuk, president and chief executive of Canadian North.
