Teleport, Avalon Airport Partner To Establish Victoria Operations Hub

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 12 (Bernama) -- Capital A’s logistics venture and e-commerce logistics specialist, Teleport, has signed a partnership agreement with Avalon Airport Melbourne to establish Avalon as Teleport’s latest strategic operations hub in Victoria, Australia.

In a joint statement today, both parties said the agreement strengthens Teleport’s air network reach to better support cargo and e-commerce movement between major Asian trade lanes and Oceania through Avalon’s dedicated air freight infrastructure.

“Teleport currently moves cargo into primary Australian airports, namely Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, and Perth, from key Asian origin markets including mainland China, Hong Kong, India, Malaysia and Vietnam.

“Establishing Avalon Airport as a strategic operations hub marks the next phase of Teleport’s global network expansion across Oceania, the Middle East, and Europe alongside its airline partners,” the statement said.

The parties added that the new hub will enable faster and more efficient movement of international e-commerce shipments into Australia.

According to the statement, in 2025, Australians spent nearly AUD19 billion on online platforms.

The partnership will support Teleport’s growing customer portfolio, -- including major e-commerce marketplaces in China -- by providing faster and more reliable access to Australian consumers.

The partnership will leverage Avalon as an alternative international freight gateway capable of supporting high-growth e-commerce logistics, as international freight volumes from China and Southeast Asia continue to expand.

“It also has the potential to diversify Australia’s freight capacity, strengthen Victoria’s international trade links and support continued growth in the state’s logistics sector.

“Teleport expects to kick off phase one of operations in the second half of 2026, initially moving e-commerce volumes from China into Avalon,” the parties said.
