 Teleport to add Airbus A321P2F aircraft

Capital A, the holding company owning AirAsia (X) and Teleport, has announced it has signed a lease-agreement with lessor BBAM for the delivery of three  Airbus A321P2Fs (Passenger-to-Freighter). The aircraft are set to be delivered from the first quarter of 2023.

The three A321P2Fs will join Teleport's single Boeing B737-800BCF, which is operated by K-Mile Air from Thailand. It's expected, however, that the Airbuses will be operated by AirAsia for the cargo airline.

Teleport launched it's dedicated cargo-flying operations in November last year to boost the company's e-commerce logistics operations. It expects to grow to a fleet of 100 freighters by 2030 if the e-commerce boom continues.
