History And Summary Overnight Domestic Air Freight 

Domestic Air Freight services in Australia commenced in early 1960’s. Wards Express was one of the very first Australian Domestic Air Freight Companies. Originally services were airport-to-airport however, Wards Express began delivery services to door in the early 1970’s. In the early years  Wards Express was called Lennox Air Freight. The name was changed in the mid 1960’s to Wards Express. Wards was established by Sidney Spencer Ward, born in 1914 Sidney Ward was the youngest of four children. People inside the company at the time remember Sid Ward as “The Phantom” because he could turn up anywhere at anytime!. Wards Express grew to employ over 3000 staff and operated in Australia and PNG, wards had 18 aircraft (mostly Lear jets).

The other significant air freight operator in the mid 70’s was Ansett Air Freight, in those days Ansett air freight was owned by Ansett Airlines and Ansett airlines was 50/50% owned by Sir Peter Abeles TNT Corporation and Rupert Murdoch’s  News Corporation. Ansett Air Freight was by far the biggest carrier of domestic overnight air freight in Australia.

Things have changed a lot since the 1960s, especially since the introduction of the internet. Back in the 1970s, air cargo consisted mostly of documentation moving between Australia’s capital cities.

Today in Australia over 480,000 tons of air freight is moved annually between Australia’s five major capital city airports: Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide. The largest domestic air freight port in TERMS OF DOMESTIC AIR CARGO is Melbourne, Melbourne is also Australia’s domestic air freight “HUB”. Melbourne handles around 140,000 tons of overnight air freight every year. Australia’s largest city Sydney is second after Melbourne, Sydney handles around 110,000 tons (2020). Nest is Brisbane Airport followed by Perth and then Adelaide. The big majority of Australia’s overnight domestic air freight is uplifted in the belly holds of passenger aircraft, 737, A320 and A330s aircraft. The remaining 15 percent is mostly handled by Freighter aircraft. Freighter services are also available in Tasmania and Darwin.
