00:00 The authorities have suspended the Air Service Permit of Systematic Aviation Services Sundaran
00:07 Berhad barring it from running any passenger flights for payment.
00:12 The Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia is said to have issued the order, but the exact
00:16 reason for the suspension remains unknown.
00:20 Under aviation regulations, an ASP is required to transport passengers, mail or cargo by
00:25 air for hire or reward between two or more places, one of which falls within Malaysia's
00:30 borders.
00:31 Once so set, the company, which was formed in 1992, could still operate by leasing its
00:36 aircraft, but it was barred from running air services involving hire or reward passenger
00:41 services.
00:42 A check with the CAM and Malaysian Aviation Commission websites showed that SAS was not
00:47 on the approved ASP list.
00:49 It is also unclear when the suspension order was given.
00:53 The SAS telephone number listed on its Facebook is also no longer in service, while its website
00:58 cannot be opened.
01:00 FMT has reached out to CAM and MAVCOM for comment.
