The partnership dates from 2004 and under the extended agreement, Atlas Air will provide long-haul capacity with 2 Boeing 747-400Fs linking Australia, Asia and the US.
An additional B747-400F is serving the one-way US-Australia-Hong Kong route to provide additional capacity.

Catriona Larritt, Executive Manager of Qantas Freight, adds, “Continuing our relationship with Atlas Air will ensure we can maintain these important air freight connections between Australia and several of the largest global trading hubs in Asia and the US, supporting long-standing relationships with our key customers.”
