Qantas Freight will increase its Tasman freighter capacity by 40% from February 2011, with the deployment of a Boeing 767-300F aircraft on the route. According to Qantas Freight executive manager Stephen Cleary, the introduction of the new aircraft type to the route is in response to continued strong market demand. "The Tasman is one of Qantas Freight's most important markets, and this investment reinforces the commitment we made when we established the freighter operation in 2009," said Cleary. The aircraft will be operated for Qantas Freight by Express Freighters Australia (EFA), the Group's freighter management company. EFA currently operates four Boeing 737-300 freighters on behalf of Australian Air Express. Eyefortransport |
