KF Cargo: Strengthening Canada's Western Supply Chain Established in 1970 as Kelowna Flightcraft and now operating as KF Cargo under parent KF Aerospace, this BC-based cargo airline plays a pivotal role in Western Canada’s logistics network. With over 50 years of flight operations, KF Cargo excels as an agile and dependable feeder service—especially for major couriers like Purolator. Essential Feeder Services in BC KF Cargo runs scheduled weekday operations between Vancouver (YVR), Victoria (YYJ), Kelowna (YLW), Kamloops, and Prince George, directly supporting Purolator's British Columbia feeder network since 1976. In late 2024, the partnership was renewed for another 10 years, signaling continued trust and reliability. Fleet Tailored for Regional Performance Homologated to operate Convair 580 and ATR 72-500 freighters, KF Cargo operates versatility for regional airlift. The Convair 580 is well-known for its hauling capacity and short-field performance, delivering up to 16,000 lb payload across BC. Recent fleet upgrades added ATR 72‑500 bulk and containerized freighters, offering increased fuel efficiency and operational flexibility with bulk cargo loaders. Integrated MRO and Conversion Expertise KF Aerospace doesn’t just fly planes—it also converts them. Their Kelowna MRO team handles full passenger-to-freighter conversions, including the first Canadian Boeing 737-800SF and new ATR 72 freight models. They also support ongoing maintenance for Convair-type fleets worldwide as the type certificate holder.
