Start-up carrier AirBorneo (MY) has migrated to its own departure control system (DCS) and adopted the 'MY' IATA code, previously assigned to MASwings, on January 14, 2026.

As part of the transition, the airline dropped Malaysia Airlines' 'MH' code, which MASwings used until it was bought by the Sarawak state government. The regional carrier was previously a fully owned subsidiary of Malaysia Aviation Group.

The carrier said its DCS was activated simultaneously at 21 aerodromes it serves across Sabah, Sarawak, and Labuan. "There is no staggered or partial activation, and operations will continue as usual once the cutover is completed," it noted.

AirBorneo stressed that passenger itineraries are unaffected, with all existing reservations honoured and schedules maintained.

The airline formally assumed MASwings' operations on January 1, 2026, together with a fleet of eight ATR72-500s and six DHC-6-400s. The aircraft are being repainted into the AirBorneo livery, with completion expected in the first half of 2026.
