Silver Fly Sdn Bhd airline services was a Malaysian airline that flew for a few days in March 2010 and ceased regularly scheduled flights before May 2010.[3]

History

In August 2009, Silver Fly signed a joint flight service agreement with Riau Airlines[4] for Riau to operate services to Indonesia between Ipoh and Medan, using a Fokker 50 aircraft.[citation needed] However, the agreement with Riau was terminated.[citation needed]

Subsequently, Silver Fly leased two ATR 72 aircraft from Berjaya Air.[2] An initial flight to Kota Baharu in Kelantan was on 6 March 2010.[5]

The formal launching of the company was held on 16 March 2010, at the Sultan Azlan Shah Airport.[2] Perak Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir officiated the launching.[1][2] The event included the landing of a de Havilland Canada Dash 7 aircraft leased from Berjaya Air.[citation needed] According to the Ipoh Echo, the launch flight was also the last flight.[1]
