KUCHING, 13 January 2026 — The Sarawak Minister for Transport, Dato Sri Lee Kim Shin, today said that AirBorneo flights previously operating under MH flight codes (MH3000 series) will, with effect from 14 January 2026, be reflected under MY flight codes (MY3000 series), following the airline’s planned transition to its own Departure Control System (DCS).
The Minister made the remarks after receiving an operational briefing from AirBorneo’s newly appointed Chief Executive Officer, Megat Ardian Wira Mohd Aminuddin, who led his senior management team in a courtesy call earlier today.
During the briefing, AirBorneo management outlined preparations for the DCS migration from the former MASwings system to the AirBorneo (MY) DCS, including coordination with airport operators and relevant stakeholders to ensure uninterrupted flight operations.
Dato Sri Lee Kim Shin said the Ministry noted and welcomed the assurance that the system cutover scheduled for 14 January 2026 would be carried out seamlessly, with no disruption to flight schedules, bookings or passenger services.
“I have been briefed that all systems will remain fully operational throughout the transition, and that passengers travelling during this period will not experience any changes to their itineraries,” he said.
He added that the DCS cutover will be implemented simultaneously across all 21 airports in Sabah, Sarawak and Labuan served by AirBorneo, with airport check-in counters continuing to operate as usual. Passengers may observe updated flight information displays and signage reflecting the AirBorneo branding and MY flight numbers.
The Minister also welcomed Megat Ardian Wira Mohd Aminuddin in his role as AirBorneo CEO and expressed confidence in the airline’s leadership as it moves into its next operational phase.
“The Ministry looks forward to working closely with AirBorneo’s management to ensure operational stability, service reliability and a smooth passenger experience, while strengthening regional connectivity,” he said.
