The FAA has downgraded Malaysia from Category 1 to Category 2 following the audit on CAAM’s role in overseeing flight operations in and out of the country.

“The impact of the downgrading would see a serious cascading implication to the local aviation economy, directly and indirectly, ”“The downgrade was partly due to the Transport Ministry’s inability to move fast enough to make changes in CAAM to manage and regulate the aviation industry efficiently, ” Sufian said.
