MISSISSAUGA, Ont. — Cargojet Inc. reported a $25-million loss in the second quarter, down from a profit of $31.1 million a year earlier.

The Mississauga-based air freight and plane leasing company says its revenues totalled $230.8 million, up from $209.7 million during the same quarter last year.

Loss per diluted share was $1.53, down from earnings of $1.68 last year.

Co-chief executive officer Jamie Porteous says geo-political challengers and broader economic headwinds continue to affect the overall transportation industry.

He says Cargojet is focused on continuing to grow revenues.

Earlier this year, Cargojet signed a three-year agreement with Chinese company Great Vision HK Express to provide scheduled charter flights between Vancouver and China.
