MAB using its planes to provide cargo services for now


Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong - Bernama

MALAYSIA Airlines Bhd (MAB) has been using its planes to provide cargo services following the disruption of air travel due to the Covid-19 pandemic, says Transport Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong.

In a parliamentary written reply, he explained that the planes provided cargo services, known as the Passenger-to-Cargo (P2C), which utilises the cargo belly of the airplane.“MAB also operates Cargo-In-Cabin (CIC), where the cargo is placed in the overhead stowage compartments, closets and under the seats of passengers. Both of these P2C and CIC flights do not require any aircraft modifications,” he said.
