Teleport, the logistics arm of Capital A has marked its return to Chinese market with the lifting of quarantine restrictions and resumption of AirAsia’s flights to China. Teleport plans to resume 18 cargo routes into China by this month with plans to increase to 40 routes by the third quarter this year from Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines.
Teleport’s top four cargo destinations for our customers are Malaysia, Thailand, India and Australia and is expecting the arrival of the first of its three A321 Freighters this year to strengthen its freighter capacity into its own fleet.
Excited at the opening of China border, Pete Chareonwongsak, CEO, Teleport commented: “We look forward to supporting growth in trade and cross-border e-commerce movement regionally. The full recovery of AirAsia's fleet in China will realise Teleport's extensive network advantage for the first time since the pandemic. Our goal is to 'Teleport it' across Asean faster and more affordably than anyone else.”
Celia Lao, country head for China, Hong Kong and Macau, Teleport said: “During pre-pandemic times, in 2019, Teleport moved 1.24 million tonnes of cargo out of China through AirAsia's belly space. Now with the combined freighter and belly space network capacity, we anticipate our growth in this market to double as we are now able to serve more customers with a variety of cross border cargo needs.”
“We are equipped to become the preferred player for the fastest and most efficient air logistics solutions across Asean,” added Chareonwongsak.
Teleport has a strong team of over 700 employees spread across Malaysia, China, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, India and Singapore.
