Scanda Sky chief executive officer Stanley Hu said it merely chartered flights from existing licensed airline companies, including Malaysia Airlines Bhd , for tour packages in Ipoh and Guangzhou, China.
"After the first two weeks, all seats on the flights that Scanda Sky charter from the existing airlines could only be procured from affiliated tour agencies, tour groups or other entities licensed to provide tour packages. These companies will have their payment gateway or their site linked to our site," said Hu in a statement on Friday .
But Scanda Sky should not have advertised and promoted scheduled commercial flights on its website, said Mavcom. “The Commission wishes to make clear that Scanda Sky is neither a holder of an Air Service Licence nor Air Service Permit issued either by the Commission under Act 771 or issued under the Civil Aviation Act 1969 .
According to Hu, Scanda Sky had always made it clear that it was not an airline company and that it was merely offering tour packages inclusive of flight services at premium pricing.
