AirAsia Group CEO Tony Fernandes says some of the 10 new freighter aircraft will go to the Philippines, given that Davao-Manila is the logistic provider’s top route by volume in Southeast Asia.
SEPANG, Malaysia – Low-cost carrier AirAsia is looking to expand its air logistics operation in Southeast Asia, with the Philippines seen as a “very big operation.” To fuel this, the group’s logistics arm, Teleport, plans to add up to 10 freighter aircraft.
Tony Fernandes, chief executive officer of AirAsia Group , emphasized the Philippines’ role as a major market for Teleport in Southeast Asia. “Philippines is where we see Teleport to be a very big operation. Obviously, AirAsia Philippines is doing most of Teleport’s work right now through belly space. But in the not-too-distant future, the ten aircraft that we’re talking about, some will be destined for the Philippines,” he told reporters on Wednesday, July 12.
Teleport CEO Pete Chareonwongsak also added that the Philippines is “very, very important,” given that the logistic provider’s top route by volume in Southeast Asia is in the Philippines: Davao to Manila. It’s expected to keep Teleport as the largest air logistics network in Southeast Asia.
