Kuala Lumpur:J&T Express Malaysia and Asia Aero Network have announced the extension of their air cargo charter partnership until 2030, following an agreement signed today. This strategic move is set to enhance the provision of reliable and efficient air cargo services, particularly between Peninsular Malaysia and East Malaysia.
