Qantas Freight launches Singapore freighter service and opens large Western Sydney cargo

Qantas Freight began its first dedicated freighter service into Singapore on 3 April 2026, operating twice weekly on a Sydney‑Shanghai‑Singapore‑Sydney route with an Airbus A330 freighter and flights departing Friday and Sunday, each carrying over 50 tonnes of cargo. On the same day the airline opened a new 24,000‑square‑metre cargo terminal at Western Sydney International (Nancy Bird Walton) Airport, with the inaugural departure, flight QF7340, leaving at 10.25 pm for Brisbane carrying Australia Post parcels.

The Western Sydney terminal is expected to handle more than 850 tonnes of freight per week and accommodate 12 overnight arrivals from 10 pm, with Qantas Freight aiming to move over 160,000 parcels through the facility in its first 24 hours. The operation is supported by a fleet of two A330 freighters and six A321 freighters, with three additional A321Fs slated to join, and coincides with a ten‑year extension of the Qantas Freight and Australia Post partnership.
