Alan Ong, Managing Director of Sin-Kung Logistics, has every reason to smile. His company has just completed the acquisition of Malaysian company Prima Air Sdn Bhd (Prima Air for short) for a total of RM 20.7 million – roughly USD 4.6 million. With that, Sin-Kund Logistics Bhd now has a 100% stake in Prima Air and is preparing to start up its own air cargo services in the third quarter of this year. Until now, Prima Air was involved in air cargo, private jet charter services, aircraft maintenance, and the sale and leasing of aircraft. The family-run business has been loss-making over the past three to four years. It holds an Air Service Permit (valid until 31MAR25) and an Air Operator Certificate (valid until 31DEC25), enabling it to conduct non-scheduled commercial air transport operations. Looking forward, Sin-Kung Logistics plans to lease three aircraft this year. The first of these is planned for delivery in MAY25/JUN25, in good time for its official air cargo lift-off in Q3/25. Initially looking to carry out flights across Peninsular Malaysia for regionally based aerospace, pharmaceuticals, perishables, semiconductor, and oil and gas industries, Sin-Kung is also planning on offering air feeder services and establishing cargo interline partnerships on certain routes.
Alan Ong, Sin-Kung Logistics’ Managing Director, said: “The next phase of growth for Sin-Kung Logistics will be the air cargo services. With the addition of the air cargo services, the Company will now be able to offer full supply chain solutions for local and international freight forwarders from trucking services to cross-border air logistics services. The expansion of such services and network complements Sin-Kung Logistics’ current airport-to-airport road feeder services offered to our customers, thus further strengthening its competitive position in the logistics industry in Malaysia and Singapore. All in all, it would be an exciting and busy year for Sin-Kung Logistics.”
