Malaysia is among the world’s 20 largest trading countries and member of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). They deal in more Dollars than Ringgits (national currency), yet politics persist in making bilateral agreements and therefore having less Freedoms in air transport, hence the Deregulation act. Kuala Lumpur Int’l Airport (KUL) is hub of their national airline, Malaysia Airlines (MAS/MH).

This airline has an eye for detail; digitizing processes and efficient shipping (hands-on information on building aircraft pallets). The move by MASkargo in requiring mandatory submission of electronic Air Waybills by Cargo Agents, is in line with the national agenda of implementing paperless administration. This also paves the way for the ratification of the Montreal Protocol 4 by the Malaysian Government. This could be a reason for Malaysia Airlines to implement Cargo Claims.

CEO Mohd Yunus Idris in Transport Weekly:
“MASkargo, the freight arm of Malaysia Airlines (MAS), has launched MASlift, a premium air cargo service offering guaranteed uplift or money-back with priority care for urgent delivery within its network, according to the Shipping Gazette. The premium uplift provides options for customers with urgent shipments and adds to its suite of services for niche markets such as its recent venture into cool chain for food and pharmaceutical shipments.  “With MASlift, we promise top priority uplift or a 100 per cent refund in the unlikely event of a shipment being offloaded from the booked flight,” he said. MASkargo’s recent offer of “Flying Cars and Motorcycles” has also been receiving an encouraging response from the market, he said.”

E-Freight Program.
