AirBorneo (MY, Kuching) plans to more than double its narrowbody fleet from two to five aircraft by the end of 2026, chief executive Megat Ardian Aminuddin told Channel NewsAsia. AirBorneo began jet operations from Kuching on July 20, 2026, initially serving Kuala Lumpur, before adding Singapore. He also outlined plans to transition the five aircraft to dry leases from 2028 and expand the fleet to 17 by the end of 2030. AirBorneo inherited eight ATR72-500s and six DHC-6-400s when it assumed the operations of MASwings on January 1, 2026. It has separately ordered five ATR72-600s and three ATR42-600s for delivery between 2027 and 2029 to renew its rural air services fleet.
