: Malaysia’s air safety rating in the United States has been restored to Category 1 after all 33 issues raised by the Federal Aviation Administration were resolved, said Transport Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka SiongHe said the issues picked up by the FAA in 2019 initially did not reoccur and the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia was able to resolve 29 out of the total issues from the second assessment by FAA in December last year in the span of just six months.
“The past two years have been a crucial period for CAAM as the whole organisation was restructured while various efforts were carried out to strengthen its workforce, documentation and develop comprehensive training policy for the inspectors,” he said in an online press conference today. According to Wee, a Category 1 air safety rating means Malaysia’s civil aviation authority complies with ICAO safety standards.
“Meanwhile, a Category 2 rating means the country either lacks laws or regulations necessary to oversee air carriers in accordance with minimum international standards, or its civil aviation authority is deficient in one or more aspects, such as technical expertise, trained personnel, record-keeping or inspection procedures,” he added.
