Qantas Freight will begin its inaugural scheduled freighter service from Sydney to the Chinese manufacturing hub of Chongqing and then onto to Chicago.
Qantas Freight Enterprises executive manager Lisa Brock said the new service to Chongqing demonstrates that the business is well positioned to grow its footprint in Asia and respond to evolving global market dynamics by leveraging the carrier's existing assets.
“With the addition of Chongqing Qantas Freight will market cargo capacity to nine ports in mainland China including Shanghai, Gulin, Haikou, Hangzhou, Ningbo, Shantou, Guangzhou and Beijing.”
The service will initially operate as a weekly service under QF7583 direct from Sydney to Chongqing’s Jiangbai International Airport. The aircraft will then continue on to Chicago via Shanghai before returning to Sydney under QF7552.
The new service departs Sydney every Friday evening arriving in Chongqing at 12.05 hrs Saturday morning and Chicago mid Saturday afternoon. The aircraft will depart Chicago the same day arriving in Sydney early Monday morning.
