KUALA LUMPUR: MMAG Aviation Consortium Sdn Bhd’s subsidiary MJets Air Sdn Bhd has signed a bilateral agreement with Qatar Airways Group to strengthen Malaysia’s domestic air cargo network.
Under the agreement, Qatar Airways will be able to sell cargo capacity from key origins across Sabah and Sarawak where shipments will be transshipped via Kuala Lumpur and Doha onto Qatar Airways’ extensive global network.
MMAG said this will boost cargo efficiency, streamline regional trade flows and open new opportunities for Malaysian exporters to reach markets across the Middle East, Europe and beyond.
“The partnership reinforces MJets Air’s role as a key feeder operator within Malaysia and the wider Southeast Asian logistics ecosystem, complementing its existing bilateral arrangements with MasKargo, Teleport, China Southern Airlines and All Nippon Airways.
“Together, the two airlines aim to enhance connectivity, improve service reliability, and support the continued growth of East Malaysia’s freight sector,” it said.
At the same time, MMAG said MJets Air will benefit from the partnership through the creation of a new revenue stream, leveraging Qatar Airways’ global reach and strong commercial presence.
“The collaboration is set to deliver mutual growth, enhance service reliability, and unlock new opportunities for both parties across the logistics and air cargo landscape,” it said.
MMAG executive director Ahmad Luqman Mohd Azmi said the partnership marks another important step in strengthening Malaysia’s air cargo connectivity, particularly for Sabah and Sarawak.
Ahmad Luqman, who is also MJets chief executive officer, said by linking its domestic routes with Qatar Airways’ global network, the company is enabling Malaysian exporters to access international markets faster and more efficiently.
“This collaboration underscores our shared vision of advancing Malaysia’s logistics ecosystem and positioning KLIA as a regional cargo hub,” he said.
MJets Air’s Xpress Cargo Terminal at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) plays a central role in supporting the operations, with a capacity of up to 2,000 tonnes of cargo daily.
