Teleport is an air logistics company, aimed to consolidate the belly capacity of all AirAsia..[1] airlines into a unified network. Today, Teleport operates as an air logistics solutions provider and has a significant presence in the ASEAN market[2]. The company has developed an extensive air logistics capacity network, encompassing both freighters and the passenger belly capacity of 205 wide- and narrow-body AirAsia aircraft. Teleport primarily serves global freight forwarders, e-commerce marketplaces, and businesses seeking efficient cargo transportation solutions in the ASEAN and Asia Pacific regions[3].

History[edit]

RedCargo (March 2018 - March 2019)[edit]

Teleport, formerly known as RedCargo, is a logistics company[4]. It was originally incorporated as RedCargo Logistics Sdn Bhd on March 13, 2018, to support the logistics business segment[5]. On September 26, 2018, RedCargo acquired Redbox Logistics Sdn Bhd, combining various logistics capabilities into a single corporate entity[6].

During this period, Teleport (then known as RedCargo Logistics) achieved several milestones:

Innovation Award: Teleport received the Best Innovation Idea Award at the SAP APJ Innovation Challenge 2018 for its "Blockchain-based, decentralised belly cargo marketplace" concept[7].

E-commerce Partnership: Teleport secured its first e-commerce customer, HPL Logistics Solution Sdn. Bhd.[8], providing end-to-end B2B air logistics services for the transportation of automotive accessory parts, camera lenses, and headphones between Kuala Lumpur (KUL) and Sydney (SYD).

Freight Forwarding Partnership: In January 2019, Teleport entered into a partnership with global freight forwarding company TASCO Berhad[9], marking its first collaboration with a freight forwarder. This partnership allowed Teleport to expand its air logistics services on a larger scale, utilising AirAsia's aircraft cargo space more effectively.

Interline Agreement: In February 2019, Teleport signed its first interline agreement with Air New Zealand Limited[10], expanding its capacity and market reach by leveraging available cargo space on Air New Zealand's aircraft and accessing new countries, including Australia, New Zealand, and the USA.[11]

Courier Partnership: Teleport established a partnership with GD Express Carrier Bhd, its first courier customer[12]. This collaboration enhanced network connectivity and improved delivery services for GD Express Carrier Bhd, while Teleport explored opportunities to expand last-mile capabilities through the GDEX delivery network.

Teleport (April 2019 - Present)[edit]

April 2019: In April 2019, Teleport underwent a rebranding, changing its name from RedCargo Logistics to Teleport.

July 2019:

  • Entered an interline agreement with Oman Air S.A.O.C to enhance cargo capacity across 43 lanes and 13 countries[13].
  • Partnered with Gobi Partners to invest in EasyParcel Sdn Bhd,[14] facilitating mid-mile air logistics delivery for retailers and small businesses.
  • Signed a memorandum of understanding with Triple i Logistics Public Company Limited to integrate cargo capacity in Thailand for AirAsia Thailand and AirAsia X Thailand[15].

September 2019: Expanded into India through a partnership with Zeal Global Services Pte Ltd, establishing a local subsidiary, RC Red Cargo Services Private Limited[16].

November 2019: Signed a direct interline agreement with Lufthansa Cargo, expanding cargo capacity into Frankfurt and broadening Lufthansa's capacity in Southeast Asia[17]

December 2019: Launched GTR’s (Ground Team Red) air cargo hub at KLIA Air Cargo Terminal 1, a joint venture with AirAsia Bhd and SATS Ltd[18]
