Two aircraft. One mission.

Super Petrel LS

The proven biplane amphibian that opened the Asian skies to Super Petrel: light, forgiving on water and refined over two decades. The LS is no longer in production, so every LS we offer is pre-owned, inspected before sale and sourced through our partners worldwide.

That simplicity translates directly into ownership cost — fewer systems mean less to go wrong and cheaper routine maintenance, and a design refined gradually means most of its quirks were found and fixed years ago. A pre-owned LS is a proven aircraft with real flying history, at a lower cost than a new XP. It suits buyers newer to amphibious flying, anyone keeping purchase and running costs down, or pilots who prefer mechanical simplicity they can fully understand.

Super Petrel XP

The next generation of the platform: a longer hull, a redesigned tapered composite wing and the 160 hp Rotax 916iS — built for longer range and faster legs between islands. Ordered new and built to your specification at the factory.

The cockpit and engine jump matters most for longer cross-country and touring flights: better situational awareness, less workload on long legs and avionics that stay current for years. The XP sits at a higher price point than a pre-owned LS — you're paying for a newer airframe, a glass panel and 160 hp versus the LS's 100–115 hp — and for buyers who fly further and more often, that tends to earn itself back in capability.

About Us · When the Sky Decided Otherwise

Every aircraft we sell, we fly first.

Evgeny Savelyev — Director

Our story didn't begin as planned — as is often the case with the journeys that end up mattering most. In 2014, two brand-new Super Petrel LS aircraft were due to join a fleet in Phuket, Thailand. A military coup changed that overnight: the aircraft were redirected to the nearest friendly country, Malaysia. Registration and licence validation came together faster than we expected, and within months we were airborne in Malaysian skies.

We haven't stopped flying since. For over a decade we've operated across the skies and waters of Malaysia and Thailand — from calm freshwater lakes to open coastline — and today fly four aircraft: two time-tested 2014-built Super Petrel LS, and two of the newest Super Petrel XP, fitted with the Rotax 916iS engine.

As an official Scoda Aeronáutica distributor, our work covers the full ownership cycle — post-sale preparation, registration support, maintenance and pilot training — across Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, Cambodia and Vietnam.

Flying in Malaysia Began
Two Elements, One Freedom

Not a compromise between sea and sky — superiority over both.

01

Freedom of Route

An island, a reef, a river, an airstrip — the pilot alone chooses where a journey begins and ends.

02

Engineering Honesty

Proven amphibious reliability, backed by 1,500+ real flight hours over Asian water — not marketing promises.

03

Pilot Mastery

A foundation in advanced flight training, carried on by a factory-approved flight instructor who has flown the region for over a decade.

In the Field

See it fly. See it land on water.

Water landings, island moorings and formation flights across Malaysian waters — flown, not staged.
