## Description

In 2025 Kuching International Airport (KCH) handled about 47,836 tonnes of cargo, nearly double the 25,072 tonnes recorded in 2019. Roughly 90 percent of that volume is domestic, reflecting the airport's role as the freight backbone for south-western Sarawak on Borneo. Four cargo operators work the apron, led by MASkargo, whose on-site warehouse is being enlarged from 33,000 to 45,000 square feet by April 2026. Goods typically include perishables, electronics and supplies bound for inland communities that rail and road cannot easily reach. Clearance runs through Royal Malaysian Customs, and onward distribution uses MASwings feeder flights to smaller Sarawak strips. For freight professionals, KCH is a genuine cargo station rather than a feeder to Kuala Lumpur.
