SYDNEY - Australia on Wednesday said it has reached agreements with Singapore Airlines and Qantas Airways to carry foods to Asian markets, part of a government initiative to help businesses hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic.
Australia's trade minister, Simon Birmingham, said the agreements would help re-establish direct freight routes for exporters who have been struggling to ship overseas during the pandemic. The flights will fall under a A$1 billion government fund to support regions, communities and industry sectors affected by Covid-19. Officials did not say whether the fund would pay for or subsidise the routes.
