加拿大北方航空渥太华新货运设施启用 北方社区补给提速
加拿大渥太华10月5日消息，加拿大北方航空（Canadian North）位于渥太华国际机场的新货运设施当天正式启用。皇冠与原住民关系部长 Rebecca Alty、北方与北极事务部长 Rebecca Chartrand 代表交通部长 Steven MacKinnon 出席。联邦政府通过国家贸易走廊基金为该设施投入最高1100万加元。
新设施把普通货物仓储能力提高四成以上，冷藏仓储能力提高约百分之八十五，卡车等候时间由原来的30至60分钟缩短到5至10分钟。设施位于渥太华国际机场145 Thad Johnson Private。
渥太华是加拿大北方航空向努纳武特、努纳维克与西北地区等北方和偏远社区运送食品、药品与日用品的关键门户。运力与冷链扩容后，易腐食品和医疗物资的中转效率将明显提升。
国家贸易走廊基金是加拿大联邦政府支持港口、机场、铁路与公路等贸易基础设施的长期计划，目标是缓解供应链瓶颈、提高加拿大产品进出市场的效率。
Canadian North's New Cargo Facility Opens in Ottawa, Speeding Northern Resupply
In Ottawa, Canada, Canadian North's new cargo facility at Ottawa International Airport officially opened on October 5. Crown-Indigenous Relations Minister Rebecca Alty and Northern and Arctic Affairs Minister Rebecca Chartrand attended on behalf of Transport Minister Steven MacKinnon. The federal government invested up to $11 million in the facility through the National Trade Corridors Fund.
The new facility increases general cargo storage capacity by more than 40 percent and refrigerated storage capacity by about 85 percent, while cutting truck wait times from 30 to 60 minutes down to 5 to 10 minutes. It is located at 145 Thad Johnson Private at the airport.
Ottawa is a key gateway for Canadian North's resupply flights to northern and remote communities in Nunavut, Nunavik and the Northwest Territories. The added capacity and cold storage will speed up transfers of food, medicine and everyday goods.
The National Trade Corridors Fund is the federal government's long-term program for trade infrastructure such as ports, airports, railways and roads, aimed at easing supply-chain bottlenecks and moving Canadian products to market more efficiently.
