KUALA LUMPUR: Air cargo transportation specialist Sin-Kung Logistics Bhd’s aviation subsidiary, Prima Air Sdn Bhd, has officially been renamed to Sin-Kung Airways Sdn Bhd.
In a statement, Sin-Kung Logistics said the announcement was made during the prestigious Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace Exhibition (LIMA) 2025, following approvals from the Companies Commission of Malaysia and the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia.
Sin-Kung Logistics managing director Alan Ong said the name change was part of its broader corporate strategy to align all operations under a unified identity that reflects its core competencies as an air cargo transportation specialist.
With Sin-Kung Airways, the company is embarking on air cargo business to complement and enhance its existing logistics operations.
“Sin-Kung Logistics is well-recognised in the air cargo transportation sector. By adopting the ‘Sin-Kung’ identity for our airline operations, we are enhancing our brand visibility and reinforcing our position as a total logistics solutions service provider. This marks a significant milestone as we accelerate our air cargo expansion plans across the region,” he said in a statement.
In a move that complements its cargo operations, Sin-Kung Airways will also commence private passenger charter services using its Piaggio P180 Avanti II aircraft, known for its superior speed, comfort, and efficiency.
This marks the Company’s official entry into the premium executive travel segment, expanding its portfolio beyond cargo into non-scheduled passenger services.
Sin-Kung Airways is expected to begin operations in the third quarter of 2025. The airline plans to lease three aircraft by year-end, with the first delivery scheduled by July 2025.
Its initial charter operations will cover routes between Kuala Lumpur International Airport, Kota Kinabalu International Airport, Kuching International Airport, Labuan Airport and Hong Kong International Airport targeting key sectors including e-commerce cargo, pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, oil and gas, and perishables.
Sin-Kung Airways is engaged in three segments – air cargo, private jet charter service as well as the maintenance, repair and overhaul (MROs) of aircraft.
The airline holds Air Service Permit and Air Operator Certificate, allowing it to undertake non-scheduled commercial air transport operations.
