Qantas Freight has launched new dedicated freighter services to Singapore, commenced on 3 April 2026, with twice-weekly Sydney-Shanghai-Singapore-Sydney operations. The addition of Qantas Freight’s new services further strengthens Changi Airport’s cargo network, providing shippers and freight forwarders with greater capacity, routing options and schedule flexibility.

The new services are operated using Qantas’ A330 freighter (A332P2F) on Fridays and Sundays, offering more than 50 tonnes of cargo capacity per flight. The Singapore stop enhances Qantas’ existing Sydney–Shanghai freighter operations and strengthens connectivity across the Asia Pacific cargo network.

This marks the first time Qantas is operating a dedicated freighter service into Singapore, which complements its existing belly‑hold cargo capacity on scheduled passenger services. The new routing reflects growing demand for time‑sensitive air cargo moving across Asia, Australia and beyond.

Singapore’s strategic location and extensive global air cargo connectivity position Changi Airport as a key consolidation and transshipment hub for regional and intercontinental cargo flows. Mr Lim Ching Kiat, Executive Vice President, Air Hub and Cargo Development, Changi Airport Group said, “The decision by Qantas Group to expand its freighter operations to Singapore is timely, as we continue to see stronger air cargo demand in Asia-Pacific and the region’s increasing importance as a key driver of global air cargo growth. The extended Singapore stop between Sydney-Shanghai will further cement Changi Airport’s role as a critical node facilitating air trade between Australia, China, Europe, and Southeast Asia.”
