Air cargo transportation specialist Sin-Kung Logistics Berhad (“SinKung Logistics” or the “Company”) is proud to announce that its aviation subsidiary, Prima Air Sdn Bhd, has officially been  renamed to Sin-Kung Airways Sdn Bhd (“Sin-Kung Airways”).

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.

Mr Alan Ong, Managing Director of Sin-Kung Logistics, said this name change is part of Sin-Kung Group’s 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 added.

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 nonscheduled 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.

“With the introduction of Sin-Kung Airways, the Company is now positioned to offer air feeder services and enter into cargo interline agreements with partner airlines. These partnerships will allow both parties to carry each other’s shipments on designated routes, expanding service reach and operational flexibility across Asia,” said Ong.

The next phase of growth for Sin-Kung Logistics is focused on the air cargo segment. By adding air cargo capabilities, the Company will provide full supply chain solutions — from trucking services to cross-border air logistics — enabling a seamless experience for local and international freight forwarders.

This expansion further complements the Company’s existing airport-to-airport road feeder services in Malaysia and Singapore, strengthening Sin-Kung Group’s competitive edge in the regional logistics sector. The integration of ground and air transport solutions allows the Company to serve customers more efficiently with end-to-end delivery and cargo handling.

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.

Its MRO services are supported by two key regulatory approvals that ensure both operational reliability and regulatory compliance. The first is the CAMO (Continuous Airworthiness Maintenance Organization) certification, which authorises the airline to manage the ongoing airworthiness of its fleet. This includes overseeing maintenance planning, ensuring compliance with aviation regulations, and maintaining accurate technical records.

The second is the AMO (Aircraft Maintenance Organization) approval, which permits SinKung Airways to perform direct maintenance activities. These include scheduled inspections, repairs, component servicing, and aircraft  modifications — all conducted in accordance with the highest industry standards for safety and  efficiency. Together, these approvals enable the Company to maintain full control over its technical operations and uphold the integrity of its growing fleet.
