  • Cargojet Announces Second Quarter Financial Results

    MISSISSAUGA, ON, Aug. 6, 2025 /CNW/ – Cargojet Inc. (“Cargojet” or the “Corporation”) (TSX: CJT) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025.

    For the second quarter ended June 30, 2025:

    • Total revenues, driven by a 14% increase in Domestic revenues and 22% growth in Charter revenues, came in at $238.2 million, an increase of $7.4 million or 3.2% compared to the same period of previous year.

    “Ensuring that we can deliver shareholder value in any economic cycle remains a clear priority. Our company wide cost management and productivity initiatives produced a year-on-year improvement in adjusted EBITDA and sequential improvement of 140 basis-point increase in adjusted EBITDA margins, despite a 10% drop in block hours flown during Q2 versus the prior year,.” said Pauline Dhillon, Co-Chief Executive Officer.
