Malaysia's primary paramilitary aviation component is managed by the Malaysian Maritime Law Enforcement Force (MMEA). While the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) also possesses an active air wing (Pasukan Gerakan Udara - PGU), current military guidelines focus on ground equipment for 2026, while explicitly detailing the MMEA's air assets.

Note: Historical data from 1991 indicated that the Police Air Wing previously operated a diverse fleet including C-47, PC-6, and Bell 212 airframes. In the modern 2026 context, procurement priorities for Malaysian security forces have shifted toward maritime patrol aircraft, MALE UAVs, and a planned acquisition of 24 new helicopters starting in 2026 to be distributed across the various services to replace aging legacy assets. Current operational efforts for these paramilitary units are focused on "grey-zone" challenges in the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) and counter-piracy in the Sulu Sea.
