Teleport Secures $50M Investment from HPS to Expand Air Cargo
Teleport has secured a USD 50 million investment from global investment firm HPS Investment Partners, providing a significant capital boost to support the company’s next phase of growth in the air cargo and logistics market. The funding will be raised through the issuance of redeemable convertible perpetual securities, under an agreement signed on January 22, 2026.
Teleport is a 93.5%-owned subsidiary of Capital A and plays a central role in the group’s strategy to build a scaled, technology-driven cargo network across Asia and beyond. Following transaction-related fees and expenses, Teleport expects to have approximately USD 46.1 million available for deployment. The proceeds will be used primarily as working capital to expand third-party airline capacity, including the future introduction of dedicated freighter aircraft, and to further strengthen its regional and international network.
The transaction is expected to close by the end of March 2026, subject to customary conditions. Once completed, the investment will enhance Teleport’s financial flexibility at a time when demand for time-definite air cargo and integrated logistics solutions continues to grow, driven by e-commerce expansion, supply chain diversification and rising intra-Asia trade flows.
Teleport has been positioning itself as a neutral cargo platform that leverages bellyhold capacity across multiple airline partners, while progressively adding dedicated freighter lift to support higher-volume and more specialized shipments. The fresh capital is expected to accelerate this strategy, allowing the company to secure additional capacity from third-party airlines, improve service reliability, and expand coverage into new markets without being constrained by near-term funding limitations.
The use of redeemable convertible perpetual securities provides Teleport with long-term capital while limiting immediate dilution, offering flexibility as the business scales. For HPS Investment Partners, the transaction represents a strategic exposure to the fast-growing air logistics segment in Asia-Pacific, where cargo demand is increasingly decoupled from passenger traffic and supported by structural shifts in global trade and manufacturing.
Industry observers note that access to capital has become a key differentiator among cargo and logistics providers, particularly as competition intensifies and customers demand faster, more resilient networks. Teleport’s ability to attract institutional investment from a global firm such as HPS underscores growing confidence in its asset-light, partnership-driven model and its role within the broader Capital A ecosystem.
As Teleport continues to expand beyond its historical roots in airline bellyhold cargo, the new funding is expected to support investments in network optimization, capacity planning and operational resilience. With the transaction set to close in the first quarter of 2026, the company is positioning itself to capture a larger share of regional and cross-border air cargo flows, while laying the groundwork for longer-term freighter operations and sustainable growth.
