Qantas Freight will lease two Boeing 747-8F freighter aircraft, offering greater capacity and improved efficiency for its global freight customers.
The next-generation freighters will replace the current two Boeing 747-400F that are currently operated on Qantas’ behalf by Atlas Air and will be painted in Atlas livery. The 747-8F features a longer fuselage than the Boeing 747-400F, offering up to 20% more freight capacity with space for seven extra pallets.
Expected to commence services from late July 2019, the 747-8F freighters will carry cargo on Qantas Freight’s existing network between 10 key cargo hubs in Australia, China and the United States.*
*Subject to regulatory approval.
