MASkargo
MASkargo (stylised as maskargo) is a cargo airline with its head office in the Advanced Cargo Centre (ACC) on the grounds of Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) in Sepang District, Selangor, Malaysia. It is the cargo division of its parent company Malaysia Airlines (MAS) that operates scheduled, charter air cargo services as well as airport to seaport cargo logistics via ground transportation.
The company was established in 1972 to handle cargo delivery worldwide via Malaysia Airlines' global network of routes. At that point, MASkargo handled 30,000 tonnes of cargo. It became a subsidiary of Malaysia Airlines in April 1997, with two Boeing 747-200F freighters from the parent company. It has 1,092 employees (as of March 2007). As of 2008, the new cargo facility is located in the Advanced Cargo Centre (ACC) KLIA. MASkargo has a million-tonne cargo capacity.
In 2010, MASkargo, the cargo division of Malaysia Airlines, updated its branding to a more simplified design, diverging from the more colorful scheme of its parent company. The new livery adopted a minimalist approach, featuring a predominantly white color scheme with the company's logo and titles on the tail. This design approach, while officially adopted in 2010, had been intermittently used since the 1990s, particularly on aircraft that were leased from other carriers.
In 2010, Malaysia Airlines placed orders for 2 Airbus A330-200Fs for MASkargo to operate. An addition of 2 more frames were ordered 6 months after. One of which was eventually withdrawn from use in 201, leaving the current fleet of three airframes.
On 30 April 2015, Malaysia Airlines announced it would either lease out or sell MASkargo's entire fleet due to its ongoing financial crisis. On 1 November 2015, Malaysia Airlines CEO told reporters that MASkargo would not be shut down.[citation needed]
In March 2016, the renamed MAB Kargo signed an agreement with Silk Way Airlines of Azerbaijan, which sees it use block space on Silk Way flights from Kuala Lumpur to Amsterdam via Baku, thus ending its freighter aircraft service to Europe via the Middle East countries where it had served Dubai's Al Maktoum International Airport.
In October 2016, both Boeing 747-400 planes were phased out, and a third Airbus A330-200F, which was stored for 6 months, was added to the fleet.
As of June 2025[update], MASkargo provides freighter services to the following destinations:
