MAB Kargo (Malaysia Airlines Berhad Cargo) operating as MASkargo is a cargo airline with its head office in the Advanced Cargo Centre (ACC) on the grounds of Kuala Lumpur International Airport (WMKK/KUL) in Sepang, Selangor, Malaysia. It is a cargo division of its parent company Malaysia Airlines (MAS) that operates scheduled, charter air cargo services as well as airport to seaport cargo logistics via ground transportation.

The company was established in 1972 to handle the delivery of cargo around the world via Malaysia Airlines' global network of routes. Back then, MASkargo handled 30,000 tonnes of cargo. It became a subsidiary of Malaysia Airlines in April 1997 with two Boeing 747-200F freighters from the parent company. It has 1,092 employees (as of March 2007). Now, at the new cargo facility located in the Advanced Cargo Centre (ACC) KLIA, MASkargo has the capacity to serve customers' cargo needs up to a million tonnes.

In 2010, MASkargo simplified its image moving away from the parent company's colourful scheme, the livery features plain white aircraft with the tail logo and titles, this style had been in use since the 1990s but only on aircraft leased from other carriers.

On 30 April 2015, Malaysia Airlines announced to either lease out or sell MASkargo's entire fleet due to its ongoing financial crisis. On 1 November 2015, Malaysia Airlines CEO told reporters MASkargo would not be shut down.

In March 2016 the renamed MAB Kargo signed an agreement with Silk Way Airlines of Azerbaijan which sees them block space on Slik Way flights from Kuala Lumpur to Amsterdam via Baku, thus ending its own freighter aircraft service to Europe via the Middle East where they had served Dubai-Al Maktoum Airport.
