Australia Post takes off with new A330 freighter
Australia Post has added a new freighter to its fleet, providing critical capacity and flexibility to support growing e-commerce demands during the busy peak Christmas period.
Operated in partnership with Qantas Freight, the newly converted A330-200P2F aircraft doubles the volume of Australia Post’s largest current freighter. Providing 130 t of capacity each night, the new freighter will initially operate between the east coast and Perth, carrying Startrack and Express Post parcels.
This investment marks a major milestone in Australia Post's commitment to enhancing its delivery network and will increase overall peak capacity by 29%. Additionally, the new freighter will support Australia Post meeting its emissions reductions targets as it continues to modernise its operations. (cj)
