Sabang Merauke Raya Air Charter (SMAC) was an airline based in Medan, North Sumatra, Indonesia. It operates scheduled and charter domestic/regional passenger and cargo services, as well as pleasure and medevac flights. Its main base is Polonia International Airport, Medan.^[1] SMAC is listed in category 2 by Indonesian Civil Aviation Authority for airline safety quality.^[2]

History

The airline was established and started operations in 1969 in a joint venture partnership with a Malaysian company with the name MAC (Malaysia Air Charter). In 1972 it split from MAC and adopted the current name. It is wholly owned by Merukh Enterprises.^[1]

The Indonesian Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGAC) has suspended SMAC's air operating certificate (AOC) due the fatal accident of a CASA C212 on Bintan Island which crashed killing all on board.

A Preliminary investigation has found 1) that the Pilot in Command was not qualified for that type of flight. 2) No permission was obtained to carry out a flight test. 3) a Spare engine was carried on board during the flight. ref
