Teleport, Capital A’s logistics arm officially inducted its first A321 freighter into its air logistics fleet.
“The A321F with 24 containerized positions on both the main and lower deck, enables it to carry a maximum payload of 27 tons/ 27,000 kgs of various cargo including e-commerce parcels, express/small parcels, large volume cargo, and dangerous goods among others,” Teleport said in a release.
“The second and the third A321F is expected to be delivered by Q4 of 2023 and Q1 of 2024 respectively. With the induction of new A321F fleet Teleport will have flexibility to be based out of Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Jakarta, or Manila, leveraging Teleport’s multi-hub operating model,” the statement added.
Commenting on the milestone delivery, Pete Chareonwongsak, chief executive officer, Teleport said: “Today marks the arrival of the number one air logistics company in Southeast Asia. From a scrappy startup with humble beginnings in Malaysia, each day Teleporters across seven countries work tirelessly to deliver more goods by air than anyone else in Southeast Asia.”
“We saw our growth accelerate in the past 24 months, where we have scaled a company that is profitable and on track to generate $200 million in annual revenues – it is fitting to celebrate these milestones on the same day as the arrival of the first of three A321Fs this year,” Chareonwongsak added.
“The induction of the first A321F into their fleet is not only a testament to their hard work and dedication in the ever-challenging logistics industry, but a win for them at Capital A as it validates their diversification and growth strategy to be a value driven, low-cost, high-quality aviation and travel group,” commented Tony Fernandes, chief executive, Capital A Berhad. “Our confidence in Teleport’s future grows stronger as we foster collaborations with other businesses under Capital A to not only position Teleport as a profitable and affordable player in the air logistics industry but also establish it as a reliable delivery partner for Capital A entities, such as the Superapp.”
