Etihad Cargo expands reach in Southeast Asia via partnership with Teleport

Southeast Asian integrated logistics specialist Teleport recently signed a partnership with Etihad Cargo, the cargo and logistics arm of Etihad Airways. The agreement was signed on Monday, 3rd November, 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. This partnership with Capital A’s logistics arm aims to expand Etihad Cargo’s Southeast Asia network with the launch of a new freighter deployment from Techo International Airport in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.  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. A better way to service key markets 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 utilisation. 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. Etihad Airways’ chief cargo officer Stanislas Brun said of the launch: “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. 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.” Meanwhile, Teleport’s chief business officer Jan Philipp Pöter commented: “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. Today, we are expanding these freighter programmes further across Southeast Asia, a testament to the combined agility of our partnership, enabling us to launch new routes faster and effectively respond to market needs. This progression demonstrates Teleport’s commitment to going beyond traditional partnerships, ensuring our partners never fly empty while creating mutual growth across both networks.” 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.  By enhancing connectivity and offering flexible, reliable solutions, Etihad Cargo continues to support customers in accessing global markets with confidence and efficiency.

Air Charter Service reaps rewards in Southeast Asia

Asia has seen strong growth in the private charter market over the first nine months of the year, outperforming the global average (based on WingX figures), and Air Charter Service’s business in the Southeast part of the region has seen its Singapore office experience incredible growth in that period, arranging 61% more charters than at the same stage last year. Brendan Toomey, ACS Singapore’s CEO, commented: “We have had a great first nine months of the year, with charter numbers up by 61%, and we surpassed last year’s total last month. We have seen even larger growth in revenue figures, as we are up 155% on last year. “The economic climate of the region, and Singapore in particular, has played its part in our success. With many companies relocating their regional headquarters out of Hong Kong in recent years, Singapore has benefitted, emerging as one of the top choices for several global corporations. The country’s growth is not only in the business world, it is also one of Asia’s main aviation hubs – the fourth busiest airport in the world for international passengers and an extremely busy one with cargo shipments. “Our revenue has been buoyed, in part, by a series of large cargo aircraft charters that we arranged between Cambodia and Thailand, following the border closures in the region a few months ago, but underlying growth is still strong, at 65%. By the end of this year, we are set to have record levels both of charter numbers and revenue, our best since we opened in 2020. It’s an exciting time for the office – we have an amazing group here, and we are looking to add new members to the team over the coming months to cope with our growth in business.”

China-Laos-Thailand railway initiative to boost economic growth in Southeast Asia

Experts at the Conference on Logistics and Tourism Promotion Along the China-Laos-Thailand Railway declared that new inroads to cooperation could be made via better transportation connectivity in the region. The conference was held in Khon Kaen, Thailand on Tuesday, 19th August. According to Mekong Institute executive director Suriyan Vichitlekarn: "Transport connectivity, particularly the railway system, is a strategic economic corridor for boosting economic growth, regional resilience and deepening intercountry integration across the Greater Mekong Subregion.” Indeed, the railway which takes travellers from the Golden Triangle to the Chinese mainland stands to benefit fields as diverse as health and wellness, tourism, logistics, and the creative sector. Vichitlekarn said: "Logistics efficiency is a tangible leap forward for cross-border trade facilitation. The railway brings exciting possibilities for revitalizing regional tourism. It catalyzes inclusive economic opportunities, particularly for cultural and community-based tourism.” Cooperative efforts Organised by the Mekong Institute, the conference was co-hosted by the Chinese Consulate General in Khon Kaen and the Foreign Affairs Office of China's Yunnan province.  Over 300 participants attended, including government officials, scholars and industry representatives from China, Laos, Thailand, and other nations within Southeast Asia Chinese consul-general to Khon Kaen Liu Hongmei said at the event: "The cooperation practice of the China-Laos-Thailand Railway is a vivid example of mutual benefit and win-win between China and its neighboring countries. The conference provides a mechanism guarantee for the railway to fully exert its benefits." Liu added that, with greater logistics efficiency and deeper tourism collaboration ahead, the railway will not only serve as a driver of regional economic growth but also as a bridge bringing people across the region closer. While the Thai section remains under construction, it is expected that the completed China-Laos-Thailand Railway will connect Bangkok with Yunnan via Laos, where a high-speed line is already in operation.  The project's second phase in Thailand is expected to be operational by 2030. More than another link Likewise, Thai vice-minister of tourism and sports Jakkaphon Tangsutthitham pointed out how the railway is more than just a physical link: it also serves as a strategic gateway connecting China with Southeast Asia.  As such, it will be a driving force for the tourism industry that links cultural, natural and creative destinations across the region. However, Tangsutthitham also pointed out that having the infrastructure alone is not enough, citing the need for active cross-border coordination.  Apart from streamlining border crossings and improving customs and immigration processes, involved parties also need to engage and empower local communities as stakeholders along the railway route to enhance services and create more attractions.

MICE matters in Southeast Asia

As Travel Daily Media is currently in Singapore for Singapore MICE Forum 2025, we are taking a closer look at the contemporary meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions sector throughout the region. Indeed, it is no exaggeration to say that MICE is a significant contributor to the tourism industry's revenue stream, and it is also one of the sectors that has generated numerous employment opportunities in the post-pandemic era. Consider this as proof: research company Mordor Intelligence reported just last month that the Asia-Pacific MICE sector is currently valued at US$212.83 billion as of the end of H1-2025. Experts point out that, if the sector continues to grow at a CAGR of 9.1 percent per annum, it will be worth US$328.97 billion by the end of the current decade. This growth is attributed to the greater Asian continent's swift rebound following the pandemic, paired with the more widespread adoption of hybrid event formats, as well as greater corporate travel spending from 2023 to the present. Within the region, member-nations under ASEAN are rising rapidly as prime movers in the MICE sector, serving as venues as well as organising bodies and service providers. ASEAN needs to step up its game At this year's BE in Sabah conference in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia, Datuk Dr M Gandhi declared: "Asia Pacific is a source of business and inspiration, and sub-regional  markets must capitalise on their strategic position." As such, Gandhi suggested that countries like Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines ought to position themselves as gateways to global markets, serving as gathering places for a diverse range of industries as well as special interest organisations. Admittedly, two of the biggest MICE hubs in APAC are located in Southeast Asia: Singapore and Thailand. Gandhi, however, advised: "Rather than compete with these established hubs, ASEAN must focus on developing sub-regional strengths to create a more integrated and sustainable business events ecosystem." Indeed, experts point out that other Southeast Asian nations don't need to reinvent the wheel: countries like Vietnam and the Philippines which are known as leisure destinations can actually cash in on the business+leisure (bleisure) trend and leverage their expertise into building better MICE initiatives and campaigns. In which case, there is a need for even greater government support when it comes to establishing new or reinforcing existing MICE infrastructure if the region is to hit its full potential as a sectoral powerhouse. Turbulence ahead However, even a field as progressive as MICE is not without challenges, especially in an economically turbulent year like 2025. Indeed, as pointed out at the Thailand Innovative Meetings Exchange (TIME) held in June of this year, geopolitical tensions have led to uncertainty; but uncertainty often serves as a gateway to more innovative solutions. GeoPol principal Andrew Staples even went so far as to say: "Engage in building competing yet plausible scenarios for your business and sector; ask the 'what if' questions." Staples encouraged those engaged in MICE to stay flexible in the face of evolving situations, motivated to keep moving forward, and to leverage opportunities within the region. Rising stars While Singapore and Bangkok remain the popular choices for MICE, several locations are making themselves felt throughout the region. Phu Quoc in Vietnam is one, an emergent resort town whose pleasant climate and warm hospitality have drawn in some of the biggest players in both events and hospitality. Sabah, Malaysia is another as Tourism Malaysia continues to boost the area which is best know for its rich cultural heritage and natural beauty. The Philippines, of course, has worked up the MICE ladder for decades thanks to its expositions arm CITEM, as well as venues like PhilTrade, SMX, and the recently refurbished Philippine International Convention Centre. But not all events in the country are being staged in Manila these days; northern provinces like Bulacan and Baguio and southern locales like Cebu and Iloilo are working to rev up their event venues and services in order to draw in global audiences. How to grow a globally recognised sector Now that nations have identified the locations where MICE can flourish, how exactly do they begin building up the sector? As stated above, government support is key: Incentives in the form of funding or training support should be offered to companies specialising in MICE; Proper accreditation of such companies is also necessary as these help establish legitimacy and reliability; Infrastructure for events calls for public-private partnerships; and Relevant government agencies need to involve MICE companies in planning and presenting tourism promotion campaigns both locally and overseas. Sustainability is another factor to take into consideration, as greener events are beneficial to the environment as well as companies who have made eco-friendliness part and parcel of their work ethos. Finally, staying abreast of trends related to the sector ensures that countries are clued in and able to formulate their own unique approaches. Indeed, where MICE is concerned, Southeast Asia is certainly playing at and winning the game.
