TELEPORT adds 3 Airbus A321F to strengthen Intra-Asia network

Teleport has announced plans to expand its fleet with the addition of three Airbus A321 Freighters (A321Fs). With this development, Teleport’s cargo fleet has risen to four freighters, in addition to 200 AirAsia passenger aircraft. The three A321Fs will be operated by AirAsia and will be delivered in stages starting in Q1 of 2023, stated a release. “Addition of the A321Fs into Teleport’s fleet provides the unique load ability and body composition where it allows for containerised loading in both the main deck and lower deck,” stated the release. These freighters are believed to strengthen its network and address the diversifying market demand within Southeast Asia and the overall APAC. A release stated each A321F can carry up to 27 tonnes of cargo per flight, which is ideal considering the surge in market demand for air cargo to fulfil both smallscale items of e-commerce and bigger scale of volumetric cargo.
