Qantas Freight has welcomed a new addition to its fleet with the first of two Boeing 747-8F freighter aircraft touching down in Sydney today. The next generation freighters will be operated by Atlas Air, on behalf of Qantas. Each aircraft offers 20 per cent more freight capacity and space for seven extra cargo pallets compared to the 747-400F. Qantas Freight Executive Manager Paul Jones said the arrival of the 747-8F aircraft would better meet customer demand for freight capacity around the globe. “More capacity and better reliability means we can continue to deliver for our customers in Australia and around the globe,” Mr Jones said. “These aircraft have a far better environmental footprint, producing less carbon emissions and offering greater efficiency, something that we know is really important to our customers.” Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer for Atlas Air Worldwide, Michael Steen, said the company is delighted that Qantas Freight have extended their long-term relationship and partnership with Atlas Air. The two freighters will operate between Australia, China and the USA with additional routes currently being explored. The second 747-8F aircraft will enter service later this week. While the aircraft will be painted in Atlas Air livery, the Qantas Freight logo will be displayed on either side of the nose and underneath the freighters’ nose cargo door. The 747-8’s iconic nose door allows easier loading of oversized cargo and helps achieve faster turnaround times. The arrival of the new aircraft follows Qantas Freight’s announced of a new seven-year agreement with Australia Post to enhance the domestic network. The new agreement, worth more than $1 billion, also paves the way for up to three A321 passenger to freighter aircraft join the fleet from October 2020. .

It begins with fragile biplanes carrying one or two passengers in open cockpits and progresses to advanced Boeing 747s flying some 400 people half way around the world in a day. But it is a story of human endeavor, not just machines. A few determined individuals overcame formidable obstacles to establish the Queensland and Northern Territory Aerial Services Ltd (QANTAS). Today, Qantas is widely regarded as the world's leading long distance airline and one of the strongest brands in Australia. Qantas continues to provide outstanding service to its customers and is at the forefront of the international civil aviation industry. The future holds many challenges for Qantas - maintaining safe operations and world class product standards while building a viable and competitive position long term for the airline. <http://www.qantas.com.au/info/about/history/index> COMPANY SUBSIDIARIES: QANTAS LINK: Qantas Link regional airlines are wholly owned subsidiaries of Qantas and operate around 1,850 flights each week to metropolitan and regional destinations across Australia. QANTAS FLIGHT CATERING: Qantas Flight Catering Holdings (QFCH) is a wholly owned subsidiary that operates two catering businesses - Qantas Flight Catering Limited (QFCL) and Cater air Airport Services.

Qantas Freight and the Australia Post Group Extend Partnership with International Mail and Parcels Contract
QANTAS FREIGHT AND THE AUSTRALIA POST GROUP EXTEND PARTNERSHIP WITH INTERNATIONAL MAIL AND PARCELS CONTRACT SYDNEY, 30 SEPTEMBER 2016 – Qantas Freight and the Australia Post Group today announced a five year extension of their international mail air freight agreement. This agreement sees Qantas Freight handle 12,000 tonnes of mail and parcels out of Australia each year. The Australia Post Group is the nation’s largest user of air freight services, and the international contract builds on the five year domestic air freight agreement the two companies signed in June last year. This included the establishment of a dedicated domestic freighter fleet for the Australia Post Group, which became operational in July 2016. The total value of the contact with the Australia Post Group is in excess of AUD $500 million over five years. Together these agreements form the largest air freight contract in Australia. With all agreements in place, Qantas Freight has been retained as the largest provider of air freight services for the Australia Post Group. “We’re committed to helping Australian businesses market and deliver their products internationally, and to helping Australian consumers access global markets, so our partnership with Qantas is important for our customers,” said Bob Black, StarTrack CEO and Executive General Manager - Parcel & eCommerce services. “This strategic alliance – combined with our global reach through existing partnerships with key ecommerce platforms, postal and freight providers – will help Australian businesses and consumers buy and sell goods internationally with confidence, and complements our unrivalled domestic capability,” Mr Black said. As well as continuing to fly international letters, the international agreement includes the handling of international parcels on the Qantas Group’s more than 1500 international flights per week.
