Malaysia’s Rayani Air faces sanctions for operational lapses
Malaysia’s newest airline, Rayani Air, is to face an investigation by Malaysia’s Ministry of Transport (MoT) following procedural problems with boarding security and on-time compliance. Following a posting on social media by Malaysian MP Lau Weng San, it emerged that the 3-month-old airline had used handwritten boarding passes on a recent Kuching, Sarawak-Kuala Lumpur flight. Malaysian transport minister L Liow Tiong Lai said the use of handwritten boarding passes could pose a security threat to travellers. Liow said the airline would be required “to comply with all Department of Civil Aviation regulations” and added that if there were subsequent issues the carrier would be referred to the Malaysian Aviation Commission, and could even face a suspension of operations. <br/>
