MSAR as cargo hub between Malaysia and PRD

The MSAR airport will act as a ‘strategic platform and hub’ for air cargo between Malaysia, the Pearl River Delta and Southern China, the Macau International Airport (MIA) has announced. An agreement between MIA and DRB-HICOM Asia Cargo Express Sdn. Bhd. (DHACE) will come into effect today as the first scheduled air freighter takes off, with the MSAR becoming the ‘first strategic springboard’ for DHACE to enter Southern China, transporting mostly Malaysian seafood, halal food, processed food and seasonal fruit as well as exported goods such as e-commerce commodities destined for Southeast Asia and the Middle East via Malaysia.
‘The launch of the air freight service not only enriches the network development of Macau and Southeast Asia in air logistics field, [but] also facilitates Macau to be a significant aerial port of Southern China,’ notes the MIA release.
