KUALA LUMPUR: MMAG Holdings Bhd's (MHB) subsidiary, M Jets International Sdn Bhd (MJI) that operates Kargo Xpress, has obtained an air operator certificate (AOC) from the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia on 8 June 2021.
With this certification, Kargo Xpress is now ready to commence its inaugural flight to Kuching, Sarawak, scheduled on Thursday, 10 June 2021.
MHB has set plans to complete the logistics supply chain with the first mile, middle mile and last-mile delivery.
The company envisions being the nation's first local full-fledged integrated supply chain management company from the private sector with its air cargo services.
"Ultimately, MJI aims to set up a tier-1 cargo facility in KLIA to provide a comprehensive range of cargo handling services that are customisable and serve as a dedicated storage facility for our customers.
"The facility will also have an enhanced 24/7 security and CCTV monitoring systems," MHB executive director Kenny Khow said in a statement today.
To note, the AOC is a prerequisite certificate for MJI to operate commercial air transport in Malaysia.
MJI will manage its own cargo business and ground handling operations via Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) as its base hub.
The company will be commencing its operations with its current B737-400F aircraft scheduled charter to serve both Sabah and Sarawak better to support its growing customer base in the nation and to enhance the cargo freight services to the underserved areas.
MJI also targets to induct an additional B737-400F and two 2 B737-800F aircraft by the end of 2021.
