The aircraft was eliminated to Subang Base for Hangarage as good as technical support (while divided from categorical handling base). The appearance in LIMA `11 was covered by Eurocopter (in conditions of expenses). The categorical reason for Sabah Air to p! ierce th is model to LIMA `11 was to prominence a superior capabilities to Ministry of Health comparison officials upon a intensity brand brand brand new stipulate for national Emergency Medical Services (EMS). The total losses for a entire eventuality were in a operation of RM 800,000.00+, which was translated into a vicious saving for Sabah Air. While a aircraft is underneath a aegis of Eurocopter, a customary procedure is to safeguard a insurance coverage for a aircraft is additionally upheld to them, which has to be done upon a basis of a Lease Agreement for RM 1.00. The aircraft has a couple of some-more jobs in Peninsula Malaysia as good as Singapore prior to entrance behind to Sabah in mid-March.

3. "In a commercial operation of saving lives"

The commercial operation of saving lives is a essential one. The Medical Care attention is a multi-billion dollar industry. Sabah Air is in a logistics sect! or of th is attention vertical; which is a vicious infrastructure in region such as Sabah with a unique geography. The Flying Doctor Services, MEDEVAC as good as a Emergency Medical Services have been all profitable services, not just in Malaysia though all over a world.

Sabah Air was a single of a pioneering Aviation companies in a nation to start a Flying Doctor Services. Over a years, estimable portion of a company's income was subsequent from this sector. Hence, you during Sabah Air would similar to to reiterate a actuality which you have been in a commercial operation of SAVING LIVES. This was additionally a single of a categorical reasons a association was approached by a United Nations in a clear aftermath of a Aceh Tsunami Tragedy to provide vicious air services. The services offered is upon a basis of Government
Tender as good as paid for by a government. Occasionally you have additionally undertake forgiveness missions upon charitable grounds as a use to a poor adults of a state, which infrequently do not tumble inside of a purview of a settled contract. Such flights have been deliberate as a Corporate Social Responsibility of a company, without deleterious a monetary fortitude of a company, which is clear in a clear in a distinction a association done last year.

4. Meetings with Department of Civil Aviation; Malaysia

In a commercial operation of Aviation; either General Aviation, MRO or Airlines, liaising with a Department of Civil Aviation upon counts connected with regulations as good as reserve have been normal as good as imperative requirements. To new reports upon Sabah Air crew starting to meet with DCAM is loyal as good as there ! is nothi ng surprising about it! . Such m eetings will routinely cover all aspects of a association (aircraft, moody crew as good as engineering). Hence, a ubiquitous open need not be dumbfounded upon such meetings. Sabah Air would additionally similar to to indicate out which a claim which a Chairman attended a assembly in DCAM upon a 6th Dec 2011 is not true. The assembly was attended by a CEO along with comparison association personnel.

5. Certificate of Airworthiness

Sabah Air has a single of a oldest Air Operator's Certificates in a country. Our team is experienced in a task of progressing a compulsory Airworthiness Documentations for all types of aircraft which is operated as good as or owned by a company. Some of these certificates as good as or papers have been based upon calendar renovation while some others have been current upon opposite time scales, depending upon a DCAM or association requirements. As per current status, all Sabah Air aircrafts have been fully certified for any type of flights as good as it is usual for a certificates to run a tenure prior to been renewed again upon a basis of specific regulatory requirements.

6. Aircraft Registration

On a emanate off 9M-CMD as good as 9M-MOH registration, Sabah Air would similar to to state that! a iss uance of a same by DCAM was random, which was accepted by Sabah Air. Any links to any agencies or personalities, as suggested in a media have been quite coincidental as good as has
nothing to do with any preferences as referred to in a media. The Government or Sabah Air shareholders were not involved in this routine task for brand brand brand new aircraft registration in any demeanour as good as does not interfere in such decisions which is entirely up to a management.

7. Crew Movement

As for a media reports upon pilots leaving Sabah Air, you would similar to to prominence a actuality which distinct other industrial or use sector, a aviation zone has a r! arely mo bile workforce. Such mobility is aloft in a aviation attention as it is very much an internationalized attention as good as people can as good as have been giveaway to pierce around inside of as good as outward a country.
At a same time, Sabah Air is additionally attracting a lot of brand brand brand new talents. Hence pilots leaving as good as joining a association is normal, as it is for licensed engineers. Never a less, a brand brand brand new management has early upon itself identified weaknesses in a Human Resources management as good as took correc! tive action ions to residence a same.

8. Conclusion

The allegations brought out in a new days upon a association as good as a commercial operation have had a disastrous stroke upon a operations as good as persisting commercial operation campaigns.

It was additionally hapless which these issues got highlighted in a media when a next Flying Doctor Service stipulate proposal (2012 to 2015) routine got into a vicious decision-making theatre for a customer.

Two out of a 3 intensity contractors were highlighted by a Yang Berhormat, in a disastrous light. Hence, a timing of this emanate been brought up in a media is rarely questionable as potentially giving an astray advantage to sure entertain of a competitive
landscape of a pronounced contract.

Sabah Air shall not be addressing a media again upon these counts compartment a pronounced proposal routine is concluded successfully by a customer, as you cruise it rarely biased otherwise. The association additionally has some-more important issues to residence as good as chart a future to
become a informal personality in this industry, in accordance with a commercial operation plan. We belief all issues have been clearly elucidated right away for a open to review as good as understand.
