Freightways snares Australia Post deal

Freightways will deliver parcels in this country for Australia Post, which will increase its market share as the business was previously with rival CourierPost.

Freightways' managing director Dean Bracewell said Australia Post was the biggest parcel mover in this part of the world, and like all postal operators was moving more and more into the international package industry.

"To be aligned with them at a time when they are the forefront of pushing into the international express package industry is great because we will get their growth," he said.

Australia Post previously used CourierPost, a joint venture between NZ Post and DHL.
