Teleport, Capital A’s logistics venture and Southeast Asia’s leading eCommerce logistics specialist, has signed a partnership agreement with Avalon Airport Melbourne, establishing the airport as Teleport’s newest strategic operations hub in Victoria. The move strengthens Teleport’s air network reach and enhances cargo and eCommerce connectivity between major Asian trade lanes and Oceania through Avalon’s dedicated freight infrastructure.
Teleport currently moves cargo into Australia’s primary gateways — Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Perth — from key Asian origins including China Mainland, Hong Kong SAR, India, Malaysia and Vietnam. The addition of Avalon marks the next phase of Teleport’s global network expansion across Oceania, the Middle East and Europe with its airline partners.
Avalon Airport’s role as Victoria’s alternative international freight gateway represents a major milestone in its cargo strategy. The new hub will enable faster, more efficient movement of international eCommerce shipments into Australia. In 2025, Australians spent nearly AUD 19 billion online, a 13% year on year increase, underscoring the demand for rapid cross border processing. The hub will support Teleport’s growing customer portfolio — including major China based marketplaces — by providing faster, more reliable access to Australian consumers.
Teleport CEO Pete Chareonwongsak said Avalon Airport offers the right fit for Teleport’s growth plans. “Establishing our latest strategic operations hub at Avalon Airport Melbourne is a deliberate move to strengthen the Teleport Network in Oceania. Cross border eCommerce requires rapid, specialised processing, and our customers need faster, more reliable connectivity. Avalon Airport delivers curfew free capacity, fast turnarounds and the flexibility to handle eCommerce alongside general cargo.”
He added: “This partnership is a clear win win: Teleport brings strong eCommerce volume and regional network reach, while Avalon Airport provides the dedicated infrastructure needed as a stronger freight gateway for Victoria. Our proven history of scaling throughput across primary hubs like Kuala Lumpur, and secondary hubs like Don Mueang, Phuket and Bali, gives us full confidence in the massive potential this partnership will deliver. We believe secondary hubs are a proven engine for air cargo growth.”
The partnership positions Avalon as an alternative international freight gateway capable of supporting high growth eCommerce logistics as volumes from China and Southeast Asia continue to rise. It also has the potential to diversify Australia’s freight capacity, strengthen Victoria’s trade links and support growth in the state’s logistics sector. Teleport expects to begin phase one operations in the second half of 2026, initially moving eCommerce volumes from China into Avalon.
