SKS Airways

Founded in November 2017,^[1] SKS Airways received its Air Operator's Certificate (AOC) in October 2021^[7] and commenced its first commercial flight from Subang to Pangkor on 25 January 2022.^[8][4] The airline added its first DHC 6-300 Twin Otter to its fleet on 15 July 2019, followed by a second Twin Otter on 23 December 2020.

In 2021, reports indicated that SKS Airways was planning to order ATR 72-500 aircraft, as job postings for ATR72-500 pilots and cabin crew appeared online, and the aircraft was featured in a Malaysia Independence Day advertisement.^[9][10] However, these plans did not come to fruition, and there have been no further mentions of the ATR aircraft since.

On 25 May 2023, SKS Airways signed a lease agreement for ten Embraer E195-E2 aircraft with Azorra Aviation during the Langkawi International Maritime & Aerospace Exhibition (LIMA). The airline also entered into a long-term services agreement with Embraer for spare parts, parts repair, maintenance and fleet monitoring. These aircraft were intended to support the airline's regional expansion based at Kuala Lumpur's Subang Airport.

However, on 20 November 2023, SKS Airways suspended all flights. While the online booking portal remained active, no flights were available for booking. The New Straits Times reported that the airline was under significant financial strain due to unprofitable operations and limited funding sources. Despite SKS Airways denying financial difficulties, they did not provide reasons for halting operations.^[5]

في 10 يوليو 2024، أعلنت شركة إس كيه إس إيرويز إلغاء خططها لاستئجار طائرات إمبراير E195-E2 من شركة أزورا للطيران. وجاء هذا القرار بعد فشلها في تأمين عدد كافٍ من مواعيد الإقلاع والهبوط في مطار كوالالمبور سوبانغ لدعم عمليات الطائرات النفاثة. وكان الاتفاق الأصلي المبرم بين أزورا وإمبراير في مايو 2023 يهدف إلى إدخال طائرات E195-E2 بحلول أوائل عام 2024 لتحقيق فرص نمو جديدة. ^{[ 11 ]}
