The upgraded service now uses a Boeing 767F aircraft, replacing the previous Airbus A321. This change adds 20 tons of cargo capacity per flight to the company's Far East network.
Operating daily in partnership with Raya Airways, the route supports the rapid transport needs of technology and semiconductor manufacturers in Northern Malaysia's industrial hub. The Boeing 767F offers better range and payload capabilities, allowing for increased cargo volume and improving connectivity for businesses in Penang with Hong Kong and other international markets.
