About Qantas Freight, Express Freighters Australia

Welcome to Qantas Freight, Express Freighters Australia (EFA), the leading freight management company within the Qantas Group.

As a wholly owned subsidiary of Qantas, Qantas Freight (EFA) proudly operates in Qantas Freight livery, providing essential aircraft and crew, on long-term contracts.

Our fleet consists of versatile aircraft including the A321, A330, B737 and B767, enabling us to meet the diverse needs of our domestic and international freight operations.


In line with our commitment to innovation and expansion, Qantas Freight has recently enhanced its fleet capabilities with the addition of two converted A330 freighters.

These new aircraft significantly increase our capacity, allowing us to transport up to 50 tonnes of freight on each flight.

Additionally, by the end of this year, we will have a total of 7 A321s in our fleet, further enhancing our operational capabilities.

As part of our ongoing fleet modernisation efforts, we are retiring our B737 and B767 fleets this year.

As we continue to grow and adapt to meet the evolving demands of the freight industry, Qantas Freight remains dedicated to providing efficient, reliable, and cost-effective freight solutions to our valued customers.
