KF Cargo, the airfreight subsidiary of Canada-based KF Aerospace, has begun charter service from Miami International Airport (MIA) to South America. The first flight of KF Cargo’s MD-11 aircraft to MIA, on April 15, brought thousands of cut flowers to the North American market in advance of the coming Mother\u2019s Day demand spike in early May.
\nWith the KF Cargo service, MIA now serves 41 all-cargo airlines, said Emilio T. Gonz\u00e1lez, aviation director for the airport.\u00a0MIA, he added, is \u201cthe busiest U.S. airport for international freight\u201d and continues to attract new cargo carriers due to its extensive route network.
\nKF Cargo\u2019s privately owned parent company, KF Aerospace, is based in Western Canada\u2019s Okanagan Valley. With about 1,000 employees in locations across Canada, the company provides air cargo operations, aircraft leasing services, heavy maintenance and modifications, and pilot training.
\nThe carrier was known as Kelowna Flightcraft until 2015, following the loss of a billion-dollar service contract to deliver for Purolater Courier and Canada Post, and subsequent downsizing. That contract was taken over by Mississauga-based Cargojet.
