SYDNEY: Australia’s Qantas Airways says it would add six Airbus SE A321 converted freighters to its domestic fleet to replace five ageing Boeing Co 737s and expand capacity to meet a surge in demand from online shopping.
The A321 freighters will be sourced from the open market and converted from carrying passengers to cargo subject to commercial negotiations, the airline said, adding the planes were expected to arrive between early 2024 and mid-2026.
