i-Port
Being an international airline,continues improvements are needed.Therefore, Malaysia Airlines Kargo has become the first cargo airliner to embarked on a ambitious project called i-Port with a concept of "an airport within a seaport".With the strategic location of Kuala Lumpur within the main route of Asia and its competitive cost, MASkargo jointly with Port Klang would be able to promote Port Klang /KLIA as the load-centre for sea and air traffic for the region. This project has expanded rapidly from one seaport to four seaport partnerships including Northport, Westport,Port of Tanjung Pelepas and Kuatan Port
