MASkargo, the dedicated cargo unit of Malaysia Airlines (MH, Kuala Lumpur International), has launched a new express freighter service connecting Malaysia's largest commercial centres.
In a statement, MASkargo said that effective June 6, 5x weekly flights will run connecting Kuala Lumpur International with Kota Kinabalu and Kuching using A330-200F equipment. Aside from general cargo, the new service is designed to cater to the growing e-commerce and courier business demand between East and West Malaysia.
"As the Asian cross-border e-commerce is booming, MASkargo is poised to tap into this market given the world class warehouse facilities we operate and our vast belly and freighter network," said Ahmad Luqman Mohd Azmi, MASkargo CEO. "This express freighter service to East Malaysia is timely as we intend to position KLIA to be a major e-commerce hub in the region," he added.
Flights are scheduled to depart early in the morning, allowing shipments to arrive and be processed before noon.
MASkargo currently operates three A330-200(F)s on regular flights throughout Southeast Asia, China, and Oceania.
