The Canadian Star Alliance member Air Canada sold two Boeing 767-300ERs to Cargo Aircraft Management as part of a sale and leaseback deal. The two machines will be converted into freighters and then used by the carrier on cargo routes.

It will then be the first all-cargo aircraft in Air Canada's fleet. It cannot be ruled out that other machines could follow. The conversion will be carried out by Cargo Aircraft Management. In the past, the Canadian aviation company already had a number of cargo planes. These were Douglas DC-8s, but they were phased out in the 1990s.

Six Airbus A330-300s and three Boeing 777s are currently in use in cargo traffic. These are passenger planes that act as so-called “makeshift freighters”. Numerous airlines have chosen this approach due to the corona pandemic.
