MASwings is a regional airline in Malaysia, primarily serving the states of Sabah and Sarawak on the island of Borneo. Established on 1 October 2007 as a subsidiary of Malaysia Airlines, MASwings took over the Rural Air Services (RAS), which had previously been operated by FlyAsianXpress and Malaysia Airlines.[1]
The airline operates a fleet of ATR 72 and DHC-6 Twin Otter aircraft. The airline is headquartered at Kota Kinabalu International Airport in Sabah.[2][3] In 2023, the Sarawak State Government announced plans to acquire MASwings, following its takeover of the Rural Air Services from the Federal Government.[4][5]
