About MASwings

MASwings is a regional community airline based in East Malaysia and operates as a subsidiary of Malaysia Aviation Group, the same parent company as Malaysia Airlines. Established in 2007, MASwings was created to serve the people of Sabah and Sarawak, connecting remote towns and rural communities across Borneo through reliable and safe air transport. The airline’s main hubs are in Kota Kinabalu, Kuching, and Miri.

Known as the “Wings of Borneo,” MASwings plays a vital role in connecting the region’s smaller cities and remote areas that are not easily accessible by road. Its commitment goes beyond commercial travel — it supports tourism, business, and community needs across East Malaysia with frequent and dependable flights operated using turboprop aircraft.

Why Fly with MASwings?

Dedicated to Borneo’s Connectivity

MASwings is the only airline dedicated to providing air services across Sabah and Sarawak under Malaysia’s Rural Air Services (RAS) programme. It connects more than 20 local airports — from major cities like Kuching, Kota Kinabalu, and Miri to remote destinations such as Ba’kelalan, Long Seridan, Bario, and Mukah — ensuring that even small communities stay connected.

Reliable Short-Haul Flights

MASwings operates short regional routes designed for quick, safe, and efficient travel between East Malaysian towns. Its schedules are optimised for travellers connecting to Malaysia Airlines’ domestic and international flights, making onward travel easy when booked through Traveloka.

Community-Focused Service

The airline’s crew are known for their friendly Malaysian hospitality and familiarity with local cultures. Travellers can expect simple yet warm service that reflects Borneo’s spirit of kindness and community. MASwings flights often serve as lifelines for locals travelling for work, education, or healthcare.

Trusted for Safety and Reliability

MASwings follows the same strict safety and maintenance standards as Malaysia Airlines. All operations are certified by the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia (CAAM) and International Air Transport Association (IATA), ensuring safety and comfort on every journey.

Fleet and Aircraft

MASwings operates a fleet of turboprop aircraft suited for regional and rural flights:

• ATR 72-500 / 600: The primary aircraft used by MASwings, with 68–72 seats and advanced avionics for short runways and quick turnarounds. Comfortable, quiet, and fuel-efficient — ideal for short-haul routes in Borneo’s diverse terrain.
• De Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter: Used for remote routes under the Rural Air Services (RAS) network. With a 19-seat capacity and short takeoff capability, it connects small airfields like Bario, Long Seridan, and Ba’kelalan.

These aircraft are maintained to the same standards as larger commercial fleets, ensuring safety and reliability even in challenging regional conditions.

MASwings operates an extensive regional network covering key destinations across Sabah and Sarawak, as well as limited international routes to neighbouring areas in Borneo.
