About the Company

Teleport

Air logistics and cross-border delivery network

Teleport moves cross-border air logistics in Southeast Asia by combining AirAsia cargo space with its own freighters and capacity from partner airlines to offer fast, cost-effective shipments for businesses. It works with a hybrid network: exclusive access to AirAsia’s cargo space, owned freighters, and capacity from over 40 partners to create a wide network, handling end-to-end logistics from pickup to last-mile delivery, with some markets operating their own ground sorting, trucking, and customs clearance. It differentiates itself through an asset-light model that lowers costs by using both owned assets and partner capacity, enabling faster, price-competitive service with end-to-end visibility across its network. Its goal is to simplify and speed up cross-border logistics in Southeast Asia by providing reliable, affordable, and scalable air freight and e-commerce delivery solutions.
