History

The airline was established and began operations in 1989. It is owned by the Berjaya Group (through Berjaya Land) and was formerly known as Pacific Air Charter.

At one time the airline had its head office in Terminal 3 at Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport; [3] its offices as of mid-1992 were at Terminal 2. [4]

The company changed its business model in 2013 by offering Executive Business Premium Jets for business travelers from Subang Skypark. [5]

In order to promote sea turtle conservation on Redang Island, a direct flight from Subang Skypark Airport to Redang Island is available. The aircraft has a special design featuring a sea turtle and underwater scenery and is known as 'Jojo Flight'. The name is inspired by the resident turtle at Taaras Beach & Spa Resort. [6]

Tioman Airport, also known as Pulau Tioman Airport, is an airport serving Tioman Island, Pahang, Malaysia. It is located next to Tekek village . The relatively small size of aircraft able to take off and land at Tioman means that per seat costs are relatively high making it hard for airlines operating out of the island to remain profitable. The airport's runway is "one way" as planes can only land from and take off in one direction (north) due to nearby terrain. Tioman is a popular destination for private pilots based in Singapore and Malaysia, as it is only a little more than one hour away by air from Seletar Airport, Singapore compared to over 5 hours by surface transport.
