Teleport expands network across Asia-Pacific and Europe to capture 2H eCommerce peak

2026-09-09 18:00 Last Updated At:18:15

Expansion follows strong 1H performance, marked by 35% YoY revenue growth and a fourth consecutive profitable quarter despite industry constraints.

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Sept. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Teleport, Capital A's logistics venture and leading Southeast Asian eCommerce logistics specialist, reported continued growth momentum for the first half (1H 2026) performance, recording 35% YoY revenue growth to USD156.4 million and its fourth consecutive profitable quarter despite industry-wide capacity constraints and jet fuel volatility. Building on this foundation, Teleport is accelerating its network and capacity expansion across key Asia-Pacific and Asia-Europe corridors to capture seasonal second-half (2H 2026) eCommerce peak.

In the first-half of 2026 (1H 2026), Teleport performance outpaced Southeast Asia and Asia Pacific. In Southeast Asia, Teleport grew volume by 34%, nearly tripling the regional market growth rate of 12%. Across the Asia-Pacific region, Teleport expanded revenue by 26% and volume by 12%— a sharp contrast to the broader Asia Pacific air cargo market, which fell into negative growth (declining by 3% in revenue and 5% in volume).

Pete Chareonwongsak, Chief Executive Officer of Teleport, said "1H2026 shows the durability of our asset-light, hybrid Teleport Network. Jet fuel volatility and Middle East corridor disruptions defined the first-half for this industry, yet we still moved and grew volume. As cargo volumes continue to scale across our Network, the benefits of scale is coming through at the profit lines and it is holding across quarters "

"In the second half, we are putting the USD50 million growth capital to work ahead of peak season, expanding third-party airline capacity and connectivity through new corridors: China to the Middle East via the Bahrain strategic hub, Asia into Oceania, Penang to Europe via the Maldives, and China to the Philippines, among others. This further enhances the Teleport Network's flexibility and agility to maintain the durability of our operational capability in a challenging market," he added.

Continued eCommerce demand drove strong volume and margin growth across Teleport's network in 1H 2026:

  • 1H Total volume: Increased 18% YoY to 182,660 tonnes 
  • 1H Parcels moved: Grew 99% YoY to 118.2 million parcels
  • 1H EBITDA: Improved 15% YoY to USD 12.1 million, driven by eCommerce margin expansion and cost discipline
  • 1H Net Operating Profit (NOP): More than doubled YoY to USD 2.7 million (from USD 0.7 million in 1H 2025)
  • 1H Profit After Tax (PAT): USD 3.1 million (2Q marks a fourth consecutive profitable quarter)

The Teleport Network®'s unique, asset-light model combines passenger and freighter capacity of third-party airlines, AirAsia's belly space, and Teleport's own freighters – this hybrid capacity profile provides the operational agility and flexibility required to navigate market shocks while scaling efficiently. Demonstrating the Teleport Network® in action, in 1H 2026, Teleport grew volume moved on third-party capacity by 7% YoY and increased dedicated freighter utilisation by 89% YoY. This was supported by adding and deepening key partner airline relationships, including a new capacity partnership with MASkargo for Phnom Penh, extension of the General Sales Agent (GSA) contract with Turkish Cargo out of Kuala Lumpur and adding Myanmar Airways International freighter capacity in Yangon, among others.

Today, Teleport's asset-light network reaches more than 290 cities across 80 countries in Asia-Pacific and beyond, ranking #1 in Southeast Asia and #9 in Asia by volume, according to WorldACD.

Teleport expands network across Asia-Pacific and Europe to capture 2H eCommerce peak

Teleport expands network across Asia-Pacific and Europe to capture 2H eCommerce peak

TAIPEI, Sept. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- DFI, a Qisda Group company and a global leader in embedded motherboards and industrial computers, introduces the ARH171/ARH173, expanding its AI-ready portfolio with a Mini-ITX platform built for space-constrained, mission-critical deployments. Powered by Intel® technologies, the ARH171/ARH173 is purpose-built to handle demanding Physical AI workloads from perception to reasoning, enabling next-generation smart logistics and industrial automation.

As Physical AI transitions to operational deployment, intralogistics is driving rapid mobile automation adoption. Mordor Intelligence projects the autonomous mobile robot (AMR) market to expand at a CAGR of nearly 15% through 2029 to counter labor shortages, while advanced systems like 3D cube storage robots require on-device AI to navigate floors, climb racks, and process dense sensor streams in real time.

Flexibility starts at the board level. The ARH171/ARH173 adopts a unified "One Board, Two Generations" architecture, supporting 16 Intel® Core™ Ultra processor options across Meteor Lake-U/H and Arrow Lake-U/H (15–28W; Intel vPro® available on select SKUs). Delivering up to 99 total platform TOPS on Arrow Lake-H models, its integrated Intel® Arc™ GPU and dedicated NPU accelerate AI inference via OpenVINO™, DirectML, and ONNX RT. This lowers reliance on discrete graphics, reducing thermal and spatial overhead while enabling system integrators to scale across performance tiers using a unified platform architecture. The launch will further leverage DFI's core strengths in embedded computing to support Qisda Group's overall strategy across its four AI business categories: "AI Vision & Display," "AI Infrastructure," "AI Solutions & Smart Manufacturing," and "AI Hospital & Wellness Ecosystem."

"System integrators developing next-generation autonomous logistics robots need to shorten validation cycles and avoid recurring redesign costs," said Claire Tien, President of DFI. "By supporting two processor generations on a unified board architecture, the ARH171/ARH173 simplifies long-term platform planning, delivers on-chip AI acceleration, and supports continuous operation through hardware-level remote management."

Once deployed, reliable operation and reduced on-site maintenance become critical. Engineered for 24/7 robotic deployments, the ARH173 features a 12–28V wide-range DC input, up to three 2.5GbE LAN ports, and modular M.2 expansion for flexible sensor integration. To simplify field maintenance, the optional DFI EXT-OOB module enables out-of-band power cycling and OS recovery even if the primary system is unresponsive, while integrated Intel vPro® technology (on select SKUs) provides comprehensive remote hardware management.

From board to system to solution, the ARH171/ARH173 delivers a deployment-ready foundation that consolidates dual-generation scalability, native AI performance, and remote management into a single validation point, reducing engineering overhead and accelerating the transition from pilot to production.
