## Description

Around 1,443 tonnes of air cargo moved through Sibu in 2018 — a firmly regional figure rather than an intercontinental one. Set on the Rejang River in central Sarawak, the airport serves a timber and palm-oil economy that needs spare parts, general cargo and perishables flown into the interior. MASwings, AirAsia and Batik Air provide most services on turboprops and narrow-bodies, whose belly holds carry the bulk of the freight. For consolidation and long-haul links, MASkargo road-feeds Sibu's traffic to the Sarawak gateways at Kuching and Kota Kinabalu. Customs clearance is available locally for domestic and selected international consignments. Shippers with larger or time-critical exports typically pair Sibu with the cargo terminal at Kuching.
