Australian air Express is a logistics company based in Melbourne, Australia. It operates freight-only services within Australia using leased Qantas, National Jet Systems, and Pel-Air aircraft.
Australian air Express was established in early 1992 as a domestic air freight company. It was established as a joint venture between Australia's largest airline Qantas (50%), and government-owned postal provider Australia Post (50%). AaE operates more than 50 nightly inter-capital freighter services using freight capacity on Qantas domestic flights and also dedicated cargo services operated on their behalf by several different companies, principally using Boeing 727 aircraft.
