A New Digital Platform Takes Flight in Summer 2025

Calgary, August 21 – 2026

Calgary, Canada — Vacancees officially opened its doors on the 6th of May 2025, marking the beginning of a new digital platform designed to connect international travellers with people looking to send packages overseas.

Founded on a simple but practical idea, Vacancees aims to make better use of the unused luggage space that accompanies millions of travellers on journeys around the world each year. Through its online platform, travellers with available luggage space can connect with senders whose packages are headed in the same direction.

The concept behind Vacancees emerged from a familiar situation: travellers often arrive at the airport with unused baggage capacity, while individuals looking to send items internationally may face limited, expensive, or inconvenient options.
Vacancees saw an opportunity to bring these two groups together.
