Teleport adds 3 Airbus A321Fs to strengthen Intra-Asia network

Teleport has announced plans to expand its fleet with the addition of three Airbus A321 Freighters (A321F). The latest development has increased Teleport’s cargo-only fleet to four freighters in total, in addition to 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, said an official release. “The 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 narrowbody freighters are believed to strengthen Teleport’s cargo network and address the diversifying market demand within Southeast Asia and the overall Asia-Pacific region. According to the release, each A321F, leased from BBAM Limited Partnership (BBAM), 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 small-scale items of e-commerce and bigger scale of volumetric cargo.
