Qantas Freight is a subsidiary company of Australia's largest airline Qantas, responsible for the air cargo operations of the Qantas group.[1] It is the owner of freight airline Express Freighters Australia, freight forwarder Qantas Courier and trucking company Jets Transport Express. Qantas Freight was also a partner in two joint ventures with Australia Post: Australian airExpress, specialising in door-to-door package delivery, and StarTrack, a road freight company.[1][2] In November 2012 Qantas Freight fully acquired Australia air Express and divested its shareholding in Star Track to Australia Post. Qantas Freight was also the owner of Asian-based freight forwarder DPEXWorldwide until that company was acquired by its competitor Toll Holdings in 2010.[3]

In April 2019, Qantas Freight announced it would wet lease two Atlas Air Boeing 747-8F aircraft to replace the two current wet-leased 747-400F aircraft.[20] The first aircraft landed in Sydney on 27 August with small Qantas Freight stickers applied, with the second due later in the week.[21]

In August 2019, Qantas Freight announced a deal with Australia Post which was worth $1.4 billion. Included in the deal was Qantas Freight's announcement of the purchase of the world's first A321P2F, of which they ordered 3 to be delivered from October 2020.[12]

Price-fixing case

Legal action was brought in the United States against a number of airlines' freight operations over allegations of price fixing between 2000 and 2006, including Qantas Freight. Following the imposition of a fine of US$300 million on British Airways, in November 2007 Qantas Freight agreed to plead guilty in a US court and was fined US$61 million.[22] In a separate development the former head of Qantas Freight in the United States was sentenced to eight months imprisonment in May 2008.[23] The Australian Competition & Consumer Commission also launched legal action in Australia, and in October 2008 Qantas' management agreed to settle the case with a fine of A$20 million.[24] Qantas is also facing a number of class action lawsuits.[24]
