PETALING JAYA: A new agency that will manage the economic side of Malaysia’s aviation industry has taken off.
The Malaysian Aviation Commission (MAC) will have its eye on commercial flights here and, among others, manage airline licences, traffic rights and routes.
Speaking to The Star, its executive chairman Jen (Rtd) Tan Sri Abdullah Ahmad expressed surprise over his appointment.
“It’s a real surprise to me that the Government still considered me to lead this very important course in the aviation industry,” he said.
Formerly in the Royal Malaysian Air Force , Abdullah said he retired from service about 10 years ago.
