qantasAustralia Post and Qantas’ latest partnership initiative will see the largest aircraft to have joined its dedicated domestic air network, used exclusively by Australia Post and StarTrack customers.

Bob Black, Australia Post group chief operations officer and StarTrack CEO said the addition of the B737-400 was a boost for online shopping.

“This new aircraft is the largest type of freighter aircraft operating scheduled services in Australia and gives us greater capacity and flexibility,” he said.

“In essence, our network on the ground and in the air, is a competitive advantage for customers who choose us as their delivery provider.”

“We know that online shopping continues to grow because of the price, range and convenience of products available on domestic and international marketplaces.

“The main aim for us is to help Australian businesses, including those in rural and regional areas, stay strong in a competitive and global market, and this new plane sets us apart from our competitors.”

The B737-400 freighter is capable of carrying 16,500 kilograms of cargo and is part of a dedicated network of six aircraft.

The air-freighter’s arrival is part of a five-year contract worth over $500 million for the transport of Australia Post and StarTrack’s range of premium and Express Products and Services until mid-2020 and the agreement includes priority access to cargo space in Qantas Group’s passenger fleet.

Qantas International and Freight CEO Gareth Evans said it was an important milestone for the strategic partnership between Qantas and Australia Post. “This new fleet is about providing Australia Post with the capability it needs to bring Australians a great delivery service and respond to the big changes we’re seeing with the online shopping boom,” said Qantas International and Freight CEO Gareth Evans.

“We’re working closely with Australia Post across the full scale the Qantas Group’s international and domestic networks, and it’s exciting to be adding to that with the arrival of our largest dedicated freighter.”
