At one time the airline had its head office at Terminal 3 of Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport;[3] its offices as of mid-1992 were at Terminal 2.[4]
The company changed its business model in 2013 by offering Executive Business Premium Jets for business travelers from Subang Skypark.[5]
In order to promote sea turtle conservation on Redang Island, a direct flight from Subang Skypark Airport to Redang Island is available. The aircraft has a special design featuring a sea turtle and underwater scenery and is known as 'Jojo Flight'. The name is inspired by the resident turtle at Taaras Beach & Spa Resort.[6]
