Malaysia Airlines' new holding company, Malaysia Airlines Berhad, has secured its Air Operators Certificate and will on Tuesday mark its first day as the new owner of the national carrier.
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia Airlines' new holding company, Malaysia Airlines Berhad (MAB), has secured its Air Operators Certificate (AOC) from the Department of Civil Aviation (DCA). The AOC will allow Malaysian Airline System to transition into MAB, the new national carrier on Tuesday (Sep 1).
As part of securing the AOC, MAB had to undergo "months of audit activities, which included air-worthiness of the airline’s operations, aircraft maintenance, as well as regulatory conformity", Malaysia's The Sun newspaper reported.
"The AOC is a testament to all our staff at Malaysia Airlines who have been working hard to fulfill all the necessary requirements and specifications by DCA," MAB’s CEO-designate Christoph Mueller said in a statement. "We are very excited and focused on MAB’s take-off in September.”
Malaysia Airlines said that the "change in company will not impact the day-to-day operations of MAB."
