PONTIAN: Malaysia wants to know the reason behind the US Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) move to downgrade the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia (CAAM) from category one to two.

Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said the government also wanted to know the effect from such a downgrade but was confident it could be overcome.

"We've even been trusted to run the Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport in Turkey where it is not small as 31 million people use it," he added. Also present at the event was his wife Tun Dr Siti Hasmah Mohd Ali and other Bersatu leaders including president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin and Johor Mentri Besar Datuk Dr Sahruddin Jamal.Dr Mahathir also pointed out that local pilots were accepted by airline companies from Indonesia, China and Arab countries as Malaysians were known to be competent.

"Malaysians work as professionals where they are respected and their salaries are the same with European professionals," he said.
