On March 2, 2023, at 5:33 Eastern Canada time, a historic moment unfolded at Toronto Pearson Airport. A new China Southern Airlines Boeing 777F all-cargo aircraft landed smoothly, fully loaded with cargo. The arrival was met with the highest aviation industry etiquette and a grand welcome ceremony at the Toronto Airport, marking a significant milestone in the joint venture between Maple Supply Chain Management Inc. and China Southern Airlines Logistics.
The Canada-China two-way scheduled, all-cargo aircraft, a product of this successful collaboration, completed its maiden flight. Notably, this route stands as the exclusive all-cargo scheduled flight on Canada-China Airlines. Operating every Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday, the flight departs from Qingdao, stops in Vancouver, and concludes its journey in Toronto. The return leg from Toronto to Qingdao takes place the same evening.
