Deal expands Southeast Asia network with Phnom Penh freighter deployment
Etihad Cargo is expanding its Southeast Asia network with the launch of a new freighter deployment from Techo International Airport (KTI) in Phnom Penh, Cambodia in partnership with Teleport, Southeast Asia’s integrated logistics specialist.
Commencing during the winter 2025 season, the service will operate two weekly flights utilising Airbus A321F aircraft, adding an additional 50 tonnes of cargo capacity per week.
The agreement to launch the new Phnom Penh freighter deployment was signed today at Air Cargo Southeast Asia, marking another collaboration milestone in the strategic partnership between Etihad Cargo and Teleport, which currently operates a successful joint freighter deployment from Ho Chi Minh City (SGN).
Supporting key verticals
The additional freighter capacity will cater to Cambodia’s growing import and export markets, supporting key verticals such as garments, electronics, perishables and pharmaceuticals, and providing customers with improved access to Etihad Cargo’s global network via Abu Dhabi.
“In partnership with Teleport, this new route provides much-needed additional capacity, connecting Cambodia’s exporters to key global markets and enhancing connectivity across our expanding network,” noted Stanislas Brun, Chief Cargo Officer, Etihad Airways.
“This progression demonstrates Teleport’s commitment to going beyond traditional partnerships, ensuring our partners never fly empty while creating mutual growth across both networks,” observed Jan Philipp Pöter, Chief Business Officer, Teleport.
The introduction of the Phnom Penh freighter deployment sees Etihad Cargo expand its dedicated freighter network while also optimising bellyhold capacity across its passenger fleet, a press statement concluded.
