Malaysia National Aviation Policy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Malaysia National Aviation Policy is a comprehensive policy defining all the key aspects of aviation in Malaysia, such as its direction, objectives and long-term strategies, for the purpose of stakeholder transparency.

History

[edit]

The National Aviation Policy was first proposed and announced on 17 October 2011.[1] The Transport Ministry was tasked with drafting the policy framework.[2]

In 2010, before the announcement, the former CEO of MAS, Tengku Datuk Azmil Zahruddin, and AirAsia X CEO Azran Osman Rani, had called for a clear aviation policy for Malaysia, to ensure free and fair competition on a level playing field.

However, the then transport minister Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat had shot down their call, saying that existing guidelines were sufficient.
