Not just students, but also university staff – all across Canada – now have access to economic cargo rates. Since the beginning of this month, WestJet Cargo’s new Campus’Air product is available for purchase on domestic, Canadian routes. Its claim: “affordable shipping solutions for students and university staff.” Students going off to study at university are often on a very tight budget, and therefore, the airline which has a strong affinity to its community, has developed a product to support the country’s future talent potential. A number of Canadian universities are already included on the airline’s list, and students of those still unlisted are encouraged to propose them for inclusion. To benefit from the Campus’Air program, current students and employees of the registered Canadian universities are given a 50% discount on the published freight rates applicable to the shipment of personal effects on the respective domestic routing. “This significant discount ensures that the service remains accessible and economical, helping students and faculty staff manage their shipping needs with ease,” the release explains. It points potential customers in the direction of the WestJet Cargo contact center, to arrange a quote, and confirms that the majority of shipments will usually arrive within 24 hours, “subject to flight availability and connecting options.”
Kirsten De Bruijn, Executive Vice President of WestJet Cargo, commented: “At WestJet Cargo, we recognize the unique challenges faced by students and university staff in transporting their personal belongings. Campus’Air is our way of supporting the academic community, providing them with an affordable, reliable shipping solution that underscores our commitment to fostering education and community development across Canada.”
