Hong Kong, 18 December 2023 - Asia Airfreight Terminal (AAT), a subsidiary of SATS Ltd, has been appointed to provide cargo handling and documentation services for AirAsia and Thai AirAsia covering flights connecting Malaysia and Thailand with Hong Kong.

“We are honored to have the airlines onboard. The transition went extremely well thanks to the tremendous efforts of the team and Teleport over the past months,” said Mr. Mike Chew, CEO of Asia Airfreight Terminal. “This partnership represents a strong synergy between the companies and highlights our dedication to providing top-notch services in the air cargo industry. The airlines can expect an enhanced customer experience, and we look forward to working closely together to deliver exceptional services.”  Teleport is the appointed company by the airlines to manage their cargo business.

Celia Lao, Cargo Country Head of Teleport China, emphasised the significance of Hong Kong as a key market for Teleport: "Hong Kong is a key transhipment hub for Teleport. We move large cargo and small parcels across Southeast Asia and beyond, to and through Hong Kong. With our focus anchored on speed to ensure everything arrives tomorrow for our customers, securing a reliable cargo handler is crucial to deliver the turnaround speed needed and to manage increased volumes - across both freighters and passenger belly space.  We are pleased to be working with AAT as our Cargo Terminal Operator partner to support our operations and ensure sustained success in the region.” 

Teleport is a full-fledged air logistics company with exclusive access to utilise AirAsia's surplus belly space of 204 wide-and-narrow-body AirAsia passenger aircraft. With this, Teleport moves cargo across its largest air logistics network in Southeast Asia, with strong extended connectivity into key cities in Asia Pacific. Additionally, Teleport inducted two out of three Airbus A321 Freighter (A321F) aircraft earlier this year, further strengthening its position in the region.

As one of the leading air cargo terminal operators in Hong Kong, AAT is dedicated to delivering excellence in handling services, ensuring efficient and secure operations for its airline partners. The collaboration further strengthens AAT's position as a preferred choice for reliable and customer-centric cargo handling solutions in the region.
