MASkargo begins twice-weekly B747 freighter flights between Amsterdam and New York JFK in September.
Managing director Shahari Sulaiman said. "The demand into the US is predicted to be stronger towards the end of the year. We also expect higher yields by routing flights from Europe, as this will also open up capacity to China and Asean countries,"
Citing a 50 percent increase in charter traffic to date, Shahari said the company is considering charter operations from Asia to the US and Europe.
Over the next four years, MASKargo will upgrade the material handling system of its Kuala Lumpur cargo terminal at a cost of $36.1 million in order to increase handling capacity to one million tonnes per annum.
