Malaysia ready for FAA re-audit by September
By Ayisy Yusof - August 26, 2021 @ 2:25pm

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia is finalising corrective measures and is ready for the United States' Federal Aviation Administration re-audit by September this year to restore its aviation safety rating to Category 1 status.

Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia (CAAM) chief executive officer Captain Chester Voo said the measures would address all 33 issues raised in the FAA's findings of technical expertise, trained personnel, record-keeping and inspection procedures.

"This new plan will be complete by September 30 this year, and then CAAM is ready for the re-audit. It has been a long journey for documentation processes, implementation and evidence, which I believe the state of readiness will be good for Malaysia and the civil aviation industry," he said at Virtual Airline 101 forum organised by Malaysia Airlines Bhd and CAAM today.

Voo, however, said the timeline for the potential re-audit to regain Category 1 would be dependent on conditions of the border reopening.
