Raya Airways also provides aircraft charters and wet leases specialists with experience operating cargo flights around the world.

The A321P2F will enhance the carrier's capabilities to cater to a wider customer base, expand its network reach and improve its cargo handling capacity.

[citation needed] Raya Airways began its operations as Transmile Air Services with one Boeing 737 and one Cessna Grand Caravan, in providing air express transport service to Pos Malaysia Berhad for their courier business to East Malaysia in November 1993.

It later developed into an international company and the only dedicated intra-Asian overnight express cargo operator in Malaysia.

As part of the strategy to expand its operations and network of connecting routes, Transmile Air Services acquired four MD-11s in 2005.
