Jumpseating on freighter to Malaysia

[Dave Benjamin]

Trying to get to PEN (Penang) or Kuala Lumpur. I know Polar goes to Signapore and World goes to Hong Kong. Does any US carrier go to Kuala Lumpur?
Any help is appreciated!

Yah, check Air Atlanta, they fly here every day to KUL.

Cool. Doesn't Air Atlanta do some ACMI stuff? I talked to someone that was working a contract with that outfit.

Yep, ACMI is exactly what AAI does. They mostly fly wet lease for a variety of well-known (and some lesser known) carriers as well as for tour operators.

They have a 747 base in KUL, freighters I think, on behalf of MAS - Malaysian.

Just curious, are you going for a job? I lived there last year and know about most of the outfits. Let me know if I can help.

I am also interested. Air Asia is getting big over there and it won't a bad deal.

I'm going over there to visit a friend of mine who is currently circumnavigating on his sailboat. If I went there for work I'd have to go without my wife because she doesn't enjoy the heat and humidity.
