Qantas Freight, the cargo division of Australia's national carrier, will be offering its capacity through cargo.one's booking platform.
This will bring the airline's capacity to thousands more freight forwarders globally using the cargo.one platform.
In the announcement, Qantas Freight said through the combined efforts with cargo.one, it will be able to offer forwarders a seamless, reliable and simplified end-to-end digital quoting and booking experience.
"cargo.one now enables forwarders to discover, quote and book general cargo with Qantas Freight on its extensive transpacific network connecting important North American hubs to Australia and New Zealand," it said.
The agreement would also allow cargo.one to offer instant bookings for Qantas' famous "Kangaroo Route" from the UK to Australia after successfully launching trans-Pacific services on the platform late last year.
Qantas is the only carrier to offer nonstop services from the UK to Australia with its daily flights from London to Perth, as well as its daily flights to Australia via Singapore.
Qantas Freight is Australia's leading air cargo carrier and largest independent air freight services business. It offers a vast domestic network and over 500 destinations worldwide, including Jetstar services, and plays a critical role in connecting Australia with major economies and cargo lanes worldwide.
Qantas Freight operates over 20 cargo handling terminals around Australia and Los Angeles and recently announced a substantial expansion into Western Sydney International (WSI) airport's new air cargo precinct, itself set to increase Sydney's total capacity by 33%.
Leveraging its dedicated narrow and wide-body freighters and extensive belly space capacity across both Qantas and Jetstar fleets, Qantas Freight offers freight forwarders great flexibility and a wide spectrum of air cargo products.
Qantas flights operate daily from London to Perth and Singapore with connections to Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne – the key hubs on Australia's east coast.
Capacity on all direct UK-AU services is now available to book on the cargo.one platform.
More Qantas Freight markets, routes and products will be continually added to cargo.one in the coming months.
"With its presence in many global freight markets, cargo.one is an ideal partner to help grow digital sales and connect our brand and products with more freight forwarders around the globe," said Igor Kwiatkowski, executive manager of Qantas Freight.
The deal is expected to increase Qantas Freight's visibility and marketing of its network and offers to 20,000 freight forwarders globally on cargo.one.
"With immediate effect, forwarders using cargo.one can now book Qantas Freight capacity for general cargo up to 10,000kg on flights from major US cities such as Los Angeles and Chicago, and from London, UK, to destinations in Australia, New Zealand and other ports in the region," the announcement said.
