Jet, set, go: Titan Aviation sets up Malaysia base for South-east Asia expansion
In a statement today, the United States (US) and Dubai-headquartered company aims to deliver its renowned operational excellence and industry-leading safety standards to aircraft owners and high-net-worth individuals seeking private aviation solutions.
'The addition of Malaysia as a regional hub enhances the company's ability to offer aviation services in Southeast Asia's second-largest aviation hub that continues to grow as a business and tourism centre,' it said.
Its managing director, Captain Sakeer Sheik said Malaysia is a critical gateway in Southeast Asia-not just geographically, but in terms of demand for bespoke, trustworthy private aviation services.
'Our presence here allows us to support aircraft owners, charter clients, and business travellers with unmatched responsiveness, technical depth, and operational transparency,' he said.
Sakeer noted that the Malaysian government and its local authorities are welcoming of new players in the country to offer a variety of aviation services adhering to global standards.
Titan Aviation also said the new Malaysian base will offer a wide range of services, including aircraft management, private jet chartering, aircraft sales and acquisition, Continuous Airworthiness Maintenance Organisation (CAMO) and technical services, as well as staffing solutions.
It also offers Malaysian clients preferential insurance terms, faster claims and lower premiums through its group fleet coverage.
'Whether it's managing a Gulfstream for a Malaysian corporate or arranging a last-minute charter to Hong Kong or Jakarta, our team here is equipped and empowered to deliver,' added Sakeer.
Founded in 2004, Titan Aviation manages a growing fleet of over 30 aircraft and helicopters globally-including Gulfstream jets and the Dassault Falcon-and operates across the US, Europe, the Middle East, and South and Far East Asia, including Indonesia, Cambodia, Singapore, and India. — Bernama

Urban Renewal Bill: What does this mean for the Malaysia's ageing neighbourhoods?
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 22 — Malaysia has taken its first legislative step to reshape ageing towns and cities with the long-awaited Urban Renewal Bill tabled in Parliament yesterday The Bill, a first of its kind for the country, will be a comprehensive framework for redeveloping and rejuvenating old neighbourhoods and dilapidated flats — many of which were built more than 30 years ago and now face structural decay, poor maintenance, and safety risks. If passed, the law will empower the federal and state governments to redevelop entire areas rather than just individual buildings. This Bill includes clearer processes for land acquisition, compensation for affected owners and tenants and the creation of an Urban Renewal fund to support financing. Why does the Bill matter? For years, the country has been struggling with the challenge of old flats with faulty wiring, outdated infrastructure and poor maintenance. Local councils often lack the funds and authority to initiate major upgrades, leaving residents caught between safety concerns and limited options. The Bill has proposed to help to cut through these bottlenecks, while it will also look at introducing dispute resolution mechanisms — something absent in past attempts to redevelop old housing. What is the Urban Renewal Bill? The Bill lays out a legal pathway for the redevelopment, regeneration, or revitalisation of old urban areas. It sets rules for how old buildings and neighbourhoods can be declared 'urban renewal areas,' how developers are appointed and how affected residents and property owners are to be consulted, compensated and rehoused. It also establishes Federal and State Executive Committees that will oversee projects, approve developers, track progress, and provide incentives to make projects viable. Some features of the Bill

Loke: Overhaul still on as airlines still keen on Subang Airport despite Firefly, AirAsia moving to KLIA
PETALING JAYA, Aug 22 — Some airlines are still keen to base themselves in the Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport in Subang despite others shifting their jet operations away, Transport Minister Anthony Loke reportedly said. Therefore, Anthony Loke said the ministry still sees the airport's potential as a Premium Airport and Private Jet Hub, and its rejuvenation plan will proceed as planned. 'There are airlines moving out, but there are also airlines making enquiries to set up presence in [Subang Airport] jet operations, not to mention airlines looking to expand their jet operations there,' he was quoted saying by The Star. Last month, Malaysia Aviation Group (MAG) announced that Firefly's jet operations will relocate from Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport in Subang to Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) Terminal 1, effective August 19, 2025. However, its turboprop services will continue operating from Subang, maintaining regional connectivity. Earlier this year, New Straits Times reported that Indonesia-based Batik Air is seeking more slots at Subang and is ramping up flight frequencies and launching new routes from there, Capital A Bhd had also recently relocated its low-cost carrier AirAsia from Subang Airport to KLIA's Terminal 2 from April. Loke also said that the Subang Airport Regeneration Plan (SARP) was unaffected by the airlines' exit. 'The way forward for SARP will depend on how Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB) is going to spearhead the project following its privatisation,' he reportedly said. 'We are giving MAHB the space to focus first on KLIA as a priority post privatisation. In the meantime, the Business Aviation and maintenance, repair and overhaul plans at Subang Airport will continue to be developed,' he said when asked if the airlines moving out had any links with the SARP. Last year, MAHB signed a memorandum of understanding with Selangor's Menteri Besar Incorporated (MBI) to advance the development and marketing of Zone 3 and Zone 4 at Subang Airport. Under SARP, the development will include the creation of a new area dedicated to business aviation hangars and the amplification of the aerospace ecosystem catering to aerospace manufacturers, assemblers and component maintenance, repair, and operations operators.
