The End-to-End Logistics Provider Also Welcomes New Independent Board Members with a Focus on Strengthening Strategic Capabilities and Regional Growth
Teleport, the logistics venture of Capital A has delivered a strong quarter with a 58% YoY revenue growth mainly attributed to investment in a freighter-like network, and a continued focus on e-commerce delivery.
With the return of travel and belly capacity in passenger planes in Southeast Asia, Teleport is ready to accelerate operating the fastest and most accessible logistics infrastructure in Southeast Asia.
Pete Chareonwongsak, Chief Executive Officer of Teleport said, “The re-opening of international borders along with the return of passenger flights will allow us to demonstrate fully our operating model at scale. This is already evident in the increase of revenue via belly capacity as well as our delivery volumes growing by 60% QoQ, which allowed us to reach profitability in cross-border delivery in March. With the fast shifting delivery expectations centred around speed and experience – we are determined to continuously push ourselves to be ahead of the curve with our competitive advantage in network and technology at the core. The time is right for us to now double down on our mission to connect more of Southeast Asia, and to do it faster than anyone else.”

- Cross-border delivery reached profitability in March. Guide for margin expansion with proven business model
- Delivery is the main engine for growth with recurring revenue growth from large Delivery customers across four markets expected to materialise from June onwards
