History

The airline was established and began operations in 1989. It is owned by the Berjaya Group (through Berjaya Land) and was formerly known as Pacific Air Charter.

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]

Fleet development

Berjaya Air operated 2 ATR 72-500s and 4 de Havilland Canada Dash 7-100 on several routes until 2014. The airline has since maintained its operators’ certificate by keeping a Bombardier Challenger 300, which is used for charter flights.

The airline announced at the 2018 Singapore Airshow the purchase of two second hand ATR 42-500s. The aircraft will be used to launch flights from Redang to Kuala Lumpur and Singapore.[10]

Berjaya Air also ordered 2 ATR 72-600 in full business class cabins at the 2023 Paris Air Show. With the first one arriving in Feb 2026 and another one set to arrive in Oct 2026.

In May 2025, the airline ordered and acquired a Bombardier Global 6500 in the same month. It became the first Global 6500 to be registered in Malaysia.
