History of Sabah Air Aviation

Sabah Air Aviation (SAA), formerly known as Penerbangan Sabah, is one of the oldest General Aviation Companies in Malaysia, having commenced its operation with a fleet of three Aerospatiale Allouette helicopters, two Australian Nomad N-22B, one Bell 206 Jet Ranger II and one Bell 212 helicopters. The company was registered in 1975 as a State Government Agency under the purview of the Ministry of Finance (MOF), with its headquarters located in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. It was originally formed to provide air transport services to the people of Sabah and to areas not frequented by the national airline, MAS.

MEDEVAC & FDS
In cooperation with the Ministry of Health, SAA pioneered in both MEDEVAC (Medical Evacuation) and FDS (Flying Doctor Service) services since its early establishment. This was instrumental in helping tens of thousands of people within the interiors of Sabah receive timely medical attention from the rural areas, for many years.

OIL RIG SUPPORT
In 1977, SAA was also the pioneer in providing air transport services to oil rig companies predominantly in Malaysia and Philippines. The company has successfully provided this service to many industry players, both foreign (Interport Resources Inc, Amoco Philippines Petroleum Co, TOTAL Exploration, St. Joe Petroleum) and domestic (EMPI, BP Cargali, Petronas Cargali, and OPIC). The off-shore business of SAA is presently undertaken by its sister company, SAZMA Aviation, to provide passenger transportation services to the oil rigs situated around the State of Sabah’s waters.

SAA was one of the very first, and probably the only surviving first generation Air Charter Service Company in Malaysia, still in existence today; growing over the years in a highly competitive environment. Our air transport services have grown since, allowing us to enter different markets, and accommodate for both Malaysians and non-Malaysians. And as a result, SAA emerged as one of the leading General Aviation (GA) companies in Malaysia.
