The Great Ned Wallace Is Back

The great Ned Wallace is back and Transmile Air Services, a Malaysian all-cargo airline has got him, as that carrier launches scheduled freighter service to Kuala Lumpur and Hong Kong from Los Angeles International Airport on Sept. 12.
The flights will operate five days per week utilizing Transmile's MD-11F aircraft.
Ned Wallace is the individual who quit Flying Tigers when it became part of FedEx and with some others founded Polar Air Cargo into a world cargo force.
“Transmile has an excellent reputation in Asia and its expansion to Los Angeles brings a lot to the forwarders’ table," Ned, now president of Wallace Air Cargo Group, said.
"Shippers using Transmile will enjoy frequent, highly reliable freighter capacity to Hong Kong with well-timed trucking connections to points in Southern China.
“They will also have direct freighter flights to Transmile's air and ground cargo complex at Kuala Lumpur's Subang Airport for on-line service to India, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, Brunei, Singapore, as well as Penang, Kota Kinabalu, Kuching, Miri Tawau, and Sandakan in Malaysia."
Eugene Gan, Transmile's executive director was jubilant:
“Transmile is fortunate to have Ned Wallace's organization handle our American sales.
“His more than four decades of scheduled air freight experience will help us gain a foothold in this competitive market."
Transmile's MD-11F flights will depart LAX at 0230. Tuesday through Saturday, arriving HKG 1145+1 and SZB in Kuala Lumpur at 1730+1. For further information and bookings, contact: Mr. Wylie Wong at 310-338-8013 (cell 310-980-6688) or e-mail wwong@wallaceair.com.
