KUALA LUMPUR: It is critical that airline consumer rights be enhanced to safeguard consumer well-being and ensure the people’s interests are always protected, says Transport Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong.

Such a pursuit, amid the challenges brought on by the pandemic, requires extensive collaborations and engagement to bring the aviation industry forward, both locally and globally, he added.

Dr Wee said Covid-19 had reaffirmed the critical importance of air travel and its development for Malaysia as airlines and airports also had to quickly adapt to the introduction of new regulations and pivot their business and operational strategies during the pandemic. Dr Wee said Malaysia forecast air passenger traffic numbers in 2022 to be between 32.6 million and 49 million.

During the height of the pandemic, airlines recorded an unprecedented drop in seat capacity of -92.3% year-on-year in May 2020, the largest ever decline in the Malaysian aviation industry, he added.
