**Job Description** About Qantas Freight, Express Freighters Australia**

Qantas Freight, operating as Express Freighters Australia (EFA), is the dedicated freight management division within the Qantas Group. As a wholly owned subsidiary, it provides essential aircraft and crew for long-term freight contracts under the Qantas Freight livery.

The fleet comprises modern A321 and A330 freighters, facilitating efficient domestic and international freight operations. The addition of converted A330 freighters has significantly increased capacity, with each aircraft capable of transporting up to 50 tonnes of freight per flight, both domestically and internationally with services to and from Asia.

At Qantas Freight, we’ve secured substantial contracts, including the largest airfreight agreement in Australia with Australia Post, reinforcing our position as a leader in the freight industry. We’ve also expanded our trans-Tasman services, enhancing connectivity between Australia and New Zealand. Recently, we’ve increased our trans-Tasman freighter operations, adding more rotations between Sydney, Auckland, and Christchurch. This expansion boosts service frequency and freight capacity, reflecting our commitment to meeting growing customer demand and strengthening our presence in the trans-Tasman market.

Through continuous fleet modernisation and strategic partnerships, Qantas Freight remains dedicated to providing efficient, reliable, and cost-effective freight solutions to its valued customers.

**Lifestyle & Rosters**

As a First Officer with Qantas Freight, you’ll experience mainly night operations, with a roster that consists of less flying hours than in most passenger airlines. Our domestic rosters have traditionally focused on weekday shifts, providing a routine that many pilots appreciate. However, with the addition of the Tasman triangle routes to the A321 fleet, there will now be some weekend flying included in the domestic rosters, offering a bit more variety to your schedule.

We aim to offer a balanced and supportive work environment while meeting the needs of the business, ensuring a fulfilling role that fits your lifestyle.

**Training**

Safety is our top priority at the Qantas Group, and we recognise its paramount importance. Our comprehensive Pilot Training Program is tailored to maintain our renowned safety record and equip our pilots for success. The Evidence Based Training (EBT) program exceeds standard requirements, offering our pilots realistic training scenarios and hands-on experiences that elevate their piloting skills to the highest level. This commitment to excellence in training is a hallmark of the Qantas Group, ensuring that our pilots are well-prepared for the challenges of their roles.
