SYDNEY (Reuters) -Australia's Qantas Airways said on Monday it would add six Airbus SE A321 converted freighters to its domestic fleet to replace five ageing Boeing Co 737s and expand capacity to meet a surge in demand from online shopping.

The freighters will join another three A321s already in the airline's domestic cargo fleet and expand carrying capacity given the A321s can carry 23 tonnes of cargo, nine tonnes more than the 737s.
