Add CLM Toronto Roundtable’s Tour of Air Canada’s newly opened state-of-the art Cargo Terminal at Toronto’s Lester B. Pearson International, to your calendar.

May 15th, 5:30 p.m. Pearson Cargo Facility

Toronto is Air Canada’s cargo hub and the new terminal allows Air Canada to handle growing volumes with increased efficiency and enhanced customer service. This CLM tour presents an opportunity to see how.

This new facility rivals the most modern cargo operations in the world today. The automated technology, combined with a vastly increased storage capacity, allows Air Canada to move more freight more quickly, while the ICS Inventory Control System and AS/RS Automated Storage/Retrieval System and the use of bar code labelling, guarantees the sure tracking of every shipment Air Canada handles. The work environment for employees is modern, clean and bright. There are new furnishings and adequate space for customers and employees alike. This is an exciting step towards the future as Air Canada Cargo enters the new millennium!

Some main features to look forward to are:
- Access to accurate information about the location of equipment.
- More truck bays, enhanced truck interface equipment.
- vastly increased storage capacity, with ICS Inventory Control System.
- The AS/RS Automated Storage/Retrieval System will result in shorter wait times.
- Redesign of Customer Counter for optimum efficiency, closer to the main entrance.
- Separate live-handling areas for Import and Export.
