“We have planned for weekly flights in May. Apart from providing long-haul connectivity supporting our network and P2C flights, it also allows our customers better access to the European market. The decision to operate this route ourselves involved a lot of work but the MASkargo and Malaysia Airlines teams has made it happen in a very short time. We also have a great team in Amsterdam led by our Europe Regional Sales Manager, C. J. “Keesjan” de Vries, who coordinated matters there in making it possible”, he continued.

 
“With the market being uncertain, innovation and being unconventional is the key to adapt to the drastic changes in the business environment. The P2C flights, including utilising the A380, is a demonstration of what we are and capable of doing. We will continue with implementing innovative ideas to ensure our customers’ needs are fulfilled”, added Mark Jason Thomas, MASkargo Chief Commercial Officer.
