Qantas says it will introduce a direct weekly B747-400 freighter service between New Zealand and the United States from next month.
“Our new freighter service will provide main deck capacity between the US east coast and New Zealand as well as from New Zealand into Australia, with connections to Asian ports including Bangkok, Hong Kong and Shanghai,” Group general manager Qantas Freight, Stephen Cleary told an air cargo website.
The service will initially operate every Friday from New York (JFK) and Chicago (ORD) through to Auckland (AKL) and Melbourne (MEL) and then extend direct from Melbourne into Asia.
