Teleport, the logistics venture of AirAsia Digital, on Wednesday launched its dedicated 737-800 freighter and unveiled its unique livery.
The new aircraft’s livery design reflects the brand colours of Teleport as the dedicated freighter prepares for its first flight across key routes in Asia. The addition of the dedicated freighter brings Teleport’s current active fleet to a total of 252 planes (including AirAsia Group’s passenger planes) and will enable greater consistent capacity on key air cargo routes across Southeast Asia.
Since the start of 2020, Teleport has set out to build a cargo-only network across the key air cargo lanes in the region to cater for the increasing e-commerce and general cargo demand.
“The growth of cargo services in emerging markets, along with the increase in air cargo revenue due to e-commerce and technological developments in both new aircraft technologies and the digitisation of the industry has spearheaded our company’s focus," said Chief Operating Officer of Teleport, Adrian Loretz. "We are certain that the addition of the freighter under our belt will reinforce our stand in the industry - with more to come in the coming year. "
Stationed in Bangkok, the aircraft is able to reach key markets including Hong Kong, Shanghai, Chennai, Mumbai and all the major destinations in Southeast Asia from Thailand, connecting long-haul markets to Southeast Asia through containerised capacity.
The freighter’s fully containerised main deck and large volume capacity of 21T total max payload is also capable of carrying numerous items under the Dangerous Goods category as per IATA regulations, including Lithium batteries.
“The addition of the Freighter into our fleet will accelerate the company's goal to shift from a pure air freight logistics provider to a complete multi-modal operator," said Chief Executive Officer of Teleport, Pete Chareonwongsak. "We’ve always been on a fast track growth route to continuously propel Teleport’s air cargo business forward by spotlighting our commitment towards moving anything across Southeast Asia.”
