In 2014, My Indo Airlines launched its scheduled and charter services, marking its entry into the market with initial operations from Halim Perdanakusuma Airport. The carrier secured its first aircraft, a converted 737-300 freighter, to support these services and began building essential infrastructure for handling and integration. This phase emphasized reliable freighter conversions and operational setup to ensure compliance and efficiency in the competitive sector.

Expansion and milestones

Fleet evolution

This aircraft, a converted narrow-body jet, marked the airline's entry into the Indonesian cargo market, emphasizing reliable short-haul freighting capabilities. Shortly thereafter, the fleet expanded modestly with the addition of a 737-200 freighter, PK-MYR, integrated around 2015 to enhance capacity for domestic routes. Between 2015 and 2021, My Indo Airlines pursued fleet growth through targeted acquisitions and leases of converted variants, focusing on cost-efficient models to meet rising demand in .

A significant milestone occurred in July 2019 with the lease of the first -400SF, PK-MYV, from lessor Manhattan Capital, bringing the total to four freighters and enabling expanded international hauling. Subsequent additions in this period included two more 737-300SF units in late 2019 and 2021, sourced via purchases and conversions, solidifying a mid-sized inventory suited for regional . From 2022 onward, the airline modernized its fleet by introducing higher-capacity converted freighters, starting with its inaugural 737-800BCF in June 2022, registered PK-MYI (re-registered post-conversion), leased after modification at Shanghai Pudong and ferried to . This addition, the first of its type for an Indonesian operator, boosted efficiency for long-haul routes. Further enhancements included two additional 737-400SF models in 2022 via leases from Prime Capital, increasing versatility. By 2023, two more 737-300SF units were acquired, but adjustments involved storing one older 737-200 (PK-MYR) in August 2023 due to maintenance needs, with no reported scrappings. These changes reflect ongoing optimization amid fleet turnover.
