It was established in April 2003 upon the approval of the Air Operation Certificate (AOC) by the Malaysian Department of Civil Aviation (DCA). Its primary fleet consists of Eurocopter EC 120 Colibri, EC 135 Ecureuil, AS365 Dauphin and AgustaWestland AW139. In 2018 they acquired 3 AgustaWestland AW189 that transports mostly Petronas and Shell personals in Miri, Sarawak. Weststar offered Petronas to operate the AW189’s at a cost similar to operating an AW139 and is currently the cheapest operator of AW189’s in the region.
