Rozhan 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2008 (edited) I understand there was a predecessor to Borneo Skyways i.e. Vision Air. I think this is what BC Tam may refer to. Then there was Malaysian Air Charter. Edited January 28, 2008 by Rozhan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Radzi 2 Report post Posted January 28, 2008 (edited) Malaysia Air Charter (MAC) operated a few Shorts Skyvans and BN-2s. Someone posted a picture in A.net a few weeks ago. http://www.airliners.net/photo/Malaysia_Ai...1317850/medium/ Operating the B1900's ? I think MHS Aviation is still operating, and thriving. Anybody remembers Mafira Air? Operated a single F-28, which later wents to Batavia as PK-YCM. This was told verbally by the Batavia captain, but also remember seeing their office it the Subang Airtel building. Edited January 28, 2008 by Radzi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't forget Borneo Airways that has ties with RBA back in the days for feeder services from LBU, MYY, BTU and MZV to BWN.When was that Adrian ? Did the thing ever get off ? I recall there were lots of things being announced during the BIMP-EAGA hooh-hah, also a lot of hot air too as it turned out ! How is life in Labuan nowadays ?

Then MH F50 solely feeding the flight thru BKI-LBU-BWN-LBU-BKI. And that too doesn't last very long. Life in Labuan? There's no life here. I can count how many times I went to the town since I came back to Labuan and count with just one hand. LBU traffic wise, Yawn... Back to the topic, I think I recall there is also Budjet based in BKI and also Aero Asia in West Malaysia. Edited January 28, 2008 by Adrian M Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kenneth Chong WT 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2008 (edited) SAEGA Air There is another, a one plane operation (Do228) operating from BKI, which name escapes me for now SAEAGA AIRLINES was the brainchild of Tan Sri Ting Phek King. It was a collaboration between Ekran Berhad (went bankrupt since),State Govt of Sabah and Sarawak. I was actually there at the hangar during its launch in Kuching.Where Lord White Hair, our beloved CM came and "menepung tawa" (blessing of) the 3 planes. The hangar is now Hornbill Skyway's. They operated 1 deHavilland Dash 8-200, 1 deHavilland Dash 8-300 and a CRJ 200.They were planning to fly to the larger BIMP-EAGA region. I had the program book but I think my dad threw it away!!They operated a daily BTU-KUL on the CRJ 200. MYY-MZU-BKI on the Dash8-300 and KCH-SBU-BTL on the Dash8-200.Just a Trivia-in the short while it flew...the cabin crew went through 2 uniform changes.1st was a Pink Blazer with White Buttondown Shirt,Black skirt and Polka dot scarf then a purple hue broad neck kebaya.(like those on SIA).Kinda sad it ceased operation...would be fun to see how far it would have gone...sad Edited January 28, 2008 by Kenneth Chong WT Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If Wikipedia is to be believed Saeaga Airlines also had signed a deal to lease 10 A320 to expand it's destinations to Kuala Lumpur, Langkawi and 6 destination in China, 2 in Australia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Philippines and Indonesia by September 1998. However, the airline ceased trading in April 1998 due to financial problems due in part at least to the Asian financial crisis. Geoff Edited January 28, 2008 by Geoff R.

zaki 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2008 (edited) i remember a few years ago, there were news about a new(?) budget airline waiting to start up to compete with AK. It is called ASMARA airline IIRC... apparently they never get off the ground. What happened actually? Anyone knows? Edited January 28, 2008 by zaki Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rozhan 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2008 Good effort on compiling the names Geoff. Many of the companies were short lived indeed. I remember Boskym Udara operating red helicopters...saw 2 at Genting Highlands at one time if I recall correctly. Genting Helicopter Services were suspended after an accident at Genting Highlands helipad, with fatalities including the pilot. They used to operate white-painted Bell helicopters with the Genting logo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
