And, of course Cargojet, in Canada, a domestic freighter - our relationship with them is quite good, as well. Because we are the number one freight forwarder in Canada, our relationship with all of the airlines is quite healthy.” Going forward, Harnett says that even though the company has reached number one status, growth is still an important item on the agenda. “We want to expand and grow our non-perishable business, eventually looking at ocean freight and air freight imports. Our growth in e-commerce, in both the perishable and non-perishable business, has recently been quite significant, as well, so I expect that will continue to grow, particularly in doing business with China. We’ve also joined a worldwide agency group called WCA that provides us with 7,000 agents around the world that we can work with to provide service to, or from, any city around the world. From a competitive standpoint, our ability to provide service from any city means we’re not overmatched by the multi-nationals.” By combining exceptional personal service and international experience, Flying Fresh Air Freight and FFAF Cargo remain at the forefront of the freight forwarding business, both in Canada and beyond.
