Malaysia Airlines' cargo arm MASkargo plans to add another two Airbus A330-200 freighters to its fleet by the first half of 2012.
The carrier placed a firm order for two A330-200Fs in March, along with options for another two.
A MASkargo spokeswoman declines to confirm if the carrier is converting the options into firm orders, but says: "Discussions are also underway to get the other two freighters delivered by the first half of 2012."
MASkargo will receive its first freighter in September 2011, and the second in November 2011, she adds.
The airline also expects a fifth Boeing 747-200F, leased from US operator Southern Air, to arrive by September.
This will be used as a spare aircraft to support MASkargo's four 747-200Fs, all leased from Southern Air.
The addition will take MASkargo's 747 freighter fleet to seven aircraft, says the spokeswoman.
