Lee did not want to commit to a timeline for start of operations, saying that it depends on authorities' approval, but assured that operations would be based at Skypark Terminal, Subang. "I think the problem (for the delay of obtaining a licence) is our country is more stringent, the approval procedure is very stringent," he told SunBiz after Country Heights' AGM last Friday. In July last year, SunBiz reported that Lee's planned venture was caught by an unofficial "freeze" on new air service permits (ASPs) for Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport in Subang, Selangor due to congestion issues. He however denied this, saying that the delay is mainly due to the need for stringent checks for its aircraft. Lee said Flyjet is well-prepared to start its operation, having three planes at hand, but as the approval is still pending, thus it is yet to operate.

The aircraft was previously owned by the tycoon Tan Sri Lee Kim Yew himself before offloading to Premier Aircraft Management.
