Flights to Moncton, Canada, will also operate year-round with a 737 aircraft, with daily flights to Calgary, 3- 4 weekly flights to Edmonton, and 3-5 weekly flights to Toronto. The primary cargo for this route is live animals.

The Calgary to Incheon route, launched on May 18, operates three days weekly with a 787 Dreamliner, offering a 60 tonnes capacity.
