Teleport To Add Three A321 Freighters To Its Cargo Fleet

Teleport has announced the expansion of its fleet with the addition of three Airbus A321 Freighters (A321F). This increases Teleport?s cargo-only fleet to four freighters in total, in addition to over 200 exclusive AirAsia passenger aircraft belly.

The three A321Fs will be operated by AirAsia and will be delivered in stages starting in Q1 of 2023. The addition of the A321F?s into Teleport?s fleet provides the unique loadability and body composition where it allows for containerised loading in both the main deck and lower deck.

Pete Chareonwongsak, Chief Executive Officer of Teleport said, ?It is a timely and strategic move on our part to complement our exclusive AirAsia passenger belly planes with a freighter network to expand and reinforce our increased capacity for key markets like China and India into Asean. The combined fleet approach with multi-hub freighter and belly operations will give us a unique ?many to many? network advantage to serve our customers in this region. E-commerce continues to be the main force propelling air cargo growth around the region and here at Teleport, especially with key growth in segments like international cross border e-commerce and express shipping.?

Each A321F, leased from BBAM Limited Partnership (BBAM), can carry up to 27 tons of cargo per flight which is ideal considering the surge in market demand for air cargo to fulfill both small scale items of ecommerce and bigger scale of volumetric cargo.

Francis Anthony, Head of Commercial Cargo at Teleport added, ?The addition of these freighters creates an added availability of skidded cargo capacity for key markets like China, which will allow us to load pre-packed, larger cargo in a secure manner. Through the exclusive AirAsia network, which gives Teleport access to a multi-hub operating model, these three freighters will be seamlessly positioned across AirAsia?s key markets like Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines and Indonesia. This allows Teleport the agility to take advantage of each hub-country?s unique geographical strengths, air traffic rights and cater to every possible dimension of regional demand. Coupled with our extensive network of narrow and wide body passenger planes in the region, our service offering will put us in a unique position to better serve more segments in the market.
