History

Previously known as Australian Airlines, Australian air Express first took to the skies on August 1, 1992 as a joint venture between Qantas Airways Ltd and Australia Post Corporation.

Today, with our two thousand plus strong team and Australia's most powerful and flexible airfreight distribution infrastructure, AaE, in conjunction with our parent companies, Qantas and Australia Post, is uniquely positioned to ensure that your express freight requirements are delivered fast.

What we do

As a truly global door-to-door express parcel delivery service, AaE delivers across Australia and to more than 200 countries worldwide. AaE is the only freight company with exclusive access to Qantas flights and we have the ability to deliver to PO Boxes within the vast Australia Post network.

Businesses have become increasing reliant on air logistics to meet their time-critical logistics needs and no other express air freight company has access to the network infrastructure that we do. We have our own, fully containerised, air freighter linehaul network, which operates more than 50 nightly inter-capital freighter services. We also provide day-time charter facilities to even the most remote parts of Australia and the markets of South-East Asia.

On the ground, we operate a road linehaul network to adjoining capital cities, together with an extensive radio controlled pick up and delivery fleet. More than 850 radio controlled courier vehicles provide door-to-door pick up and delivery.

Our Partners

In addition to our own national linehaul and regional networks, AaE utilises Australia Post Corporation's vast Australian network. We also have unique access to the belly space on some 500 daily Qantas passenger flights.

Early achievement of world's best practice performance in linehaul carriage of mail for Australia Post equipped us to begin forging long-term alliances with the best of Australia's private and public sector organisations.
