KUALA LUMPUR: The opposition has questioned the reliability of Lion Mentari Air, claiming that the Indonesian Airline, which was recently acquired as a partner to set up low-cost airline Malindo Airways, has been banned in the European Union (EU) for failure to comply with safety requirements.
DAP national publicity secretary Tony Pua told reporters in Parliament that Lion Mentari Air, which runs under its parent company PT Lion Group, has been blacklisted from flying into the EU and is on a list of globally banned airlines which can be found on the European Commission website (http://ec.europa.eu).
