Qantas Freight will introduce a direct weekly B747-400 freighter service between the United States and New Zealand from February 2009.   Group general manager Qantas Freight, Stephen Cleary said the new route confirmed the carrier's commitment to serving the needs of its customers in the United States and New Zealand.   “Our new freighter service will provide main deck capacity between the US east coast and New Zealand as well as from New Zealand into Australia, with connections to Asian ports including Bangkok, Hong Kong and Shanghai,”  said Cleary.   “The service will initially operate every Friday from New York (JFK) and Chicago (ORD) through to Auckland (AKL) and Melbourne (MEL) and then extend direct from Melbourne into Asia.”   Cleary said that the new routes enabled the carrier to diversify its business exposure to the current global economic environment and its impact on freight volumes.   Aircargo Asia Pacific
