Atlas Air extends alliance to enhance global supply chain network

Atlas Air is planning to extend its long-standing partnership with Australian airfreight carrier Qantas Freight to support Australia, Asia, and USA supply chains. The partnership between Atlas Air and Qantas Freight began in 2004. Under this extended agreement with Qantas Freight, Atlas Air will provide long-haul, widebody main deck capacity with two Boeing 747-400Fs operating its existing network linking Australia, Asia, and the USA. An additional 747-400F deal has also been extended to service the one-way USA-Australia-Hong Kong routing, boosting capacity to meet customer demand. “This important extension with Qantas Freight comes at a time of significant growth in the air freight industry. We look forward to supporting Qantas Freight, as it continues to expand its global freighter network,” said John Dietrich, Atlas Air Worldwide President, and Chief Executive.
