After news of celebrities sharing praises about a new airline in Malaysia on social media, the Malaysian Aviation Commission (Mavcom) has come forward to announce that it is taking action against the company.
In a media statement, the Commisson announced that it has started investigations into the company registered as Suasa Airlines Sdn Bhd (“Suasa Airlines”) and is also lodging a police report against Monspace Sky Airlines for misleading the public.
MAVCOM states that initial investigation shows that Monspace Sky Airlines does not hold any of the necessary approvals to market themselves as an airline.
"As of today, Suasa Airlines does not possess a valid ASP and therefore cannot perform a commercial air service operation. In order for an entity to operate a commercial airline business, it is required to hold an ASP and an Air Operator Certificate (“AOC”).
"Suasa Airlines filed an application with MAVCOM to operate a commercial flight from Kuala Lumpur to Langkawi on 22 July 2016, which MAVCOM rejected. However, on the same day, Suasa Airlines continued to operate this flight as a “demonstration flight” which is now being investigated by MAVCOM.
"Meanwhile, MAVCOM is lodging a police report against Monspace Sky Airlines for misleading the public. Based on evidence gathered to date, MAVCOM has found Monspace Sky Airlines, which also does not hold an ASL or ASP, had marketed themselves as an airline," MAVCOM noted, highlighting Section 36 of the Malaysian Aviation Commission Act 2015 (Act 771).
The Commission also warned the public against making any bookings or payments with the two companies as their rights as passengers and customers are not protected at present.
