FLEET - K-Mile Air welcomes 1st B767F

A happy moment in the history of K-Mile Air occured on 6 September 2024, when the airline welcomed its first widebody freighter in the form of Boeing B767-300ERBCF HS-KSA (33421). The freighter was welcomed at Bangkok by co-workers of the airline after completing its flight from Guangzhou where it was readied for the airline.

Entry into commercial service for the aircraft is scheduled for October 2024. The airline is planning to deploy it on flights to China, India and other destinations in South East Asia.

K-Mile Air, which is a joint-venture with the ASL Aviation Group, is planning to add a second B767F to its fleet later this year. This aircraft will be HS-KSB (33422) and is currently in the process of being prepared for delivery at Guangzhou.

Next to its B767, the airline's fleet is made-up of three B737-400SFs and two B737-800BCFs.

Teleport takes delivery of 1st B737-800BCF

 

AirAsia's logistic venture Teleport has taken delivery of its first B737-800BCF as announced by the company in June. The aircraft, HS-KME (29930) was presented to the press on 3 November and will be operated by K-Mile Air out of Bangkok. With this delivery, Teleport and AirAsia can meet the rising demand of carrying e-commerce freight, which it already did in the belly's or AirAsia's mainline-fleet.

At the same time, Reuters is reporting that AirAsia is in discussion with Airbus about a possible conversion of "a meaningful chunk" of its 362 A321neos on order to a to-be launched A321neo-freighter. According to several sources, Airbus is discussing this potential new freighter with customers but hasn't made a decision if it will proceed with it.

AirAsia and its Teleport subsidiary sees big opportunities due the booming e-commerce business in South East Asia. Citing reports that Chinese e-commerce giant JD.com is planning to establish its own 100-strong cargo airline by 2030, the CEO of Teleport said that he easily thinks Teleport could go in that same direction.
