Several Malaysian aerospace companies, including firms with links to state institutions, have supplied or sought to supply aircraft parts and services to Myanmar’s military, according to an investigation released by activist group Justice For Myanmar (JFM) on October 7.
ased on leaked documents and trade records, JFM said FJ Global Aeroparts (M) Sdn Bhd, Asia AeroTechnic Sdn Bhd (AAT) and Skyways Technics Asia Sdn Bhd had conducted or sought business with the Myanmar military and its brokers between 2023 and 2026.
JFM said FJ Global sought to procure spare parts and critical components for Myanmar military combat jets, drones and helicopters, including K-8W light attack jets, Orlan-10E drones and Mi-17 and Mi-2 helicopters.
The company received financing in February from state-backed Perbadanan Usahawan Nasional Berhad (PUNB), which operates under Malaysia’s Prime Minister’s Department, according to JFM.
JFM also said Myanmar military engineers visited AAT in February regarding repairs to a military-owned Airbus A319. AAT is ultimately owned by Majlis Amanah Rakyat (MARA), an agency under Malaysia’s Ministry of Rural and Regional Development.
Meanwhile, Danish-owned Skyways Technics Asia made multiple shipments of aircraft parts to known Myanmar arms brokers, according to JFM. The group said the recipients included companies registered as suppliers to the military’s Directorate of Procurement and assessed that the parts were likely destined for the Myanmar Air Force.
The investigation comes as Malaysia hosts Myanmar military chief Min Aung Hlaing for an official visit this month. JFM criticised the Malaysian government for engaging with Myanmar’s military leadership while Malaysian companies continue to provide or seek to provide aviation-related goods and services to the military.
JFM also said Malaysia has invited a Myanmar military delegation led by Police Brigadier-General Hlaing Min to attend the ASEAN Intelligence Community Conference in Kuala Lumpur from November 2-6, with Malaysia expected to cover the delegation’s travel, accommodation and other expenses.
“Malaysia’s stance on the Five-Point Consensus and its calls for peace in Myanmar ring hollow while it fails to stop its companies from providing the military with equipment and services that support its campaign of terror against the people,” JFM spokesperson Yadanar Maung said.
JFM called on Malaysia to stop companies from transferring military equipment, aircraft components and spare parts or providing aircraft maintenance services to Myanmar’s military, and urged Malaysian authorities to investigate the three companies.
It also called on Australia, Canada, the European Union, the United Kingdom and the United States to sanction companies supplying or providing maintenance and repair services to Myanmar’s military.
