Am hearing that QF has bought/leased 4 dedicated B767 Freigthers from a Singaporean Company.
The aircraft are apparently being repainted in QF colours right now in China.
Truth or fiction?
Truth. They commence operations next year.
Professor - Legacy carriers DO make $$ from freight. AaE is 51% owned by Australia Post and 49% QF Group. The majority of Australia's domestic cargo moves via QF mainline groups during the day and via AaE at night. Qf does not lose money on domestic cargo, and Australia Post certainly doesnt lose money either with their sweet monopoly !
The Irishman has set a lot of new targets through cost reductions and you will see a few changes within th QF Group cargo operations over the next 12 months.
