Malaysia: Kuala Lumpur sets up team to regain FAA Category 1 status

Kuala Lumpur has established a task force of both local and international personnel to help it obtain FAA Category 1 status. The team was organised by the Ministry of Transport and comprises 4 pilots, 3 engineers, and a technical coordinator, according to CAAM. It will be led by Kok Soo Chon, an industry veteran who led Malaysia’s investigation into MH370. Kok will coordinate the task force, lead its work plan, and ensure that its findings are implemented. “This task force of experts is set to finalise all rectifying works under the 33 FAA IASA assessment findings which were categorised as “open status” and other issues related,” says CAAM. “Thereafter, the FAA will be invited to conduct a re-assessment of the IASA program with the objective of re-categorising CAAM from Category 2 to Category 1.” <br/>
