The government has rebranded MASWings to AirBorneo and plans to grow the airline from the current turboprop operations to include jet flights on other domestic and international routes. Lee said AirBorneo was working to start jet flights before the end of 2026. However, this was dependent on aircraft availability, getting slots at destination airports and obtaining a variation to its air operator’s certificate to include jet aircraft and international routes. All MASWings staff have been offered roles at AirBorneo, the minister said.
