Teleport and Etihad Cargo are expanding their partnership with the launch of a new freighter deployment from the newly-inaugurated Techno International Airport in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
Commencing during the winter 2025 season, the service will operate two weekly flights utilizing Airbus A321F aircraft, adding an additional 50 tons of cargo capacity per week, the Southeast Asia integrated logistics firm said in a statement.

“Our long standing partnership with Etihad Cargo has grown significantly from our interline cooperation in 2022, to deploying our freighters between Saigon and Kuala Lumpur in 2024 and extending services to Phuket in 2025,” Jan Philipp Pöter, chief business officer of Teleport, said.
“This progression demonstrates Teleport’s commitment to going beyond traditional partnerships, ensuring our partners never fly empty while creating mutual growth across both networks,” he added.
Operating via Abu Dhabi, the new service will provide seamless main deck connections to Etihad Cargo’s global network, including key markets in the Middle East, Europe and the Americas.
The launch follows Etihad Airways’ recent introduction of passenger services to Phnom Penh using the airline’s new Airbus A321LR, which has seen strong cargo performance since inception, with consistently high utilization.
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.
“The launch of dedicated freighter deployments from Phnom Penh further strengthens Etihad Cargo’s presence in Southeast Asia and demonstrates our commitment to supporting the region’s dynamic trade flows,” said Stanislas Brun, chief cargo officer at Etihad Airways.
“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,” he said.
The introduction of the Phnom Penh freighter deployment sees Etihad Cargo expand its dedicated freighter network while also optimizing belly hold capacity across its passenger fleet.
