About five years ago, FY - MH's ATR72-equipped subsidiary based at SZB - did offer return flights from SZB (Subang) to MKZ - but this was more to position the aircraft to then operate MKZ-MES vv. A few fights per wk and largely subsidised by the Melaka state government to boost tourism (from MES). But the domestic leg was opened for sale. Have been on a few of these flights and on each flight, the number of pax varied from one to less than five.

It was scheduled as a 45-min journey but actual flying time was circa 30mins.

After maybe a yr and when the subsidies dried up, the service ceased.
