Qantas will continue to fly Australia Post's 12,000-tonnes of international mail and parcels around the globe after securing another five-year multi-million dollar deal.

The new contract is on top of the $500 million five-year domestic air freight agreement between the two which included the establishment of a dedicated domestic freighter fleet for Australia Post in July.

Qantas, which didn't detail the value of the latest deal, is the largest provider of air freight services for Australia Post.
