More capacity for new Malaysian carrier
Gecas will lease two 737-800 Boeing converted freighters to M Jets International’s start-up Kargo Xpress. Malaysia’s newest freight carrier began scheduled flights in June with one B737-400F.
The added capacity will enable the operator to provide fast, timely and efficient delivery of goods as they expand their footprint to include Northern China and Western India and serve some thinner routes. The first freighter will be delivered in October, with the second to follow in December.
Gunasekar Mariappan, managing director, M Jets International: "Kargo Xpress appreciates the close working relationship with Gecas to induct our initial two 737-800 BCF. Our goal is to be the provider of choice for express e-commerce shipments, as well as point-to-point delivery, trans-shipment and flight-truck services for our time-to-market sensitive customers in Asia."
