From Our Managing Director
Mansur Abbas (JP) - Managing Director

"Exploring logistics, airfreight and aviation"

Our journey began in 1942 when my grandfather founded a small trading company. This humble beginning laid the foundation for what would become a legacy spanning over eight decades.

In 1970, I took the helm as a third-generation director, bringing with me a vision to modernize and expand our operations. What started with just two employees in 2000 has grown into a diversified group of companies serving clients across the globe.

Today, MSA Shipping stands as a testament to our unwavering commitment to excellence, innovation, and customer satisfaction. We've diversified into air freight, logistics, aviation services, and travel—each venture driven by the same principles of integrity and professionalism that my grandfather instilled in us.

As we look to the future, our strategic expansion into the United States, Europe, and Far-East markets represents not just growth, but our promise to provide seamless, end-to-end logistics solutions wherever our clients need us.
