Qantas Freight has been named Best Pet Shipping Airline for the Asia/Oceania Region by IPATA, recognising its commitment to animal welfare, safety and care across every stage of the pet travel journey.

The award reflects the dedication of freight, operational and customer service teams, together with a trusted network of pet transport specialists who help families relocate pets and animals safely and confidently.

Animal welfare is central to our approach, supported by strict weather policies, specialised handling procedures and carefully managed transport requirements designed to put pets' wellbeing first. We continue to strengthen travel options through network growth and new routes, including improved access to destinations such as Las Vegas.

We maintain clear animal welfare standards, and this recognition highlights our ongoing focus on providing safe, reliable and compassionate pet transportation for our customers and their pets.
