With the Bruce Highway (Qld.) cut due to flooding and a major bridge collapse there is about air freighting groceries from BNE to TSV.

An Atlas B747F was previously used after Cyclone Yassi

A B738F is being used to lift groceries into Townsville.

The RSAF (Singapore) are assisting with the flood recovery efforts in Townsville by deploying 3X CH-47F. These a/c are normally deployed in Qld. for Singapore Defense Force training.
