PETALING JAYA: Malaysia is optimistic of a good outcome and is ready for a reassessment by the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) over air safety.
Transport Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong said this was one of the main points of conversation with Ambassador Brian D McFeeters during a virtual courtesy call on Thursday .
"We can be optimistic of a good outcome soon, which would put us back on track to regain Category One status after this was stripped in April 2019 due to International Civil Aviation Organisation standards not being met at the time," he said in a Facebook post on Thursday . The FAA's safety rating is based on a country's aviation oversight regime and is an assessment of the country's civil aviation authority.
"The United States has much to offer in terms of expertise and experience in aviation and ground transport infrastructure development and services support," he said.
