Twice-per-week freighter service to Dhaka, the capital city of Bangladesh, has begun, with MASkargo serving the Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport every Monday and Wednesday. Combined with the current belly capacity on Malaysia Airline’s passenger aircraft, this new freighter service will provide 120 tonnes of capacity to Bangladesh’s agricultural and manufacturing exports.
This is part of MASkargo’s expansion in the South Asian market. The first freighter flight to Dhaka was a success, with both inbound and outbound flights reported as full. Dhaka is a significant exporter of perishable products, garments and seafood.
