Transport Ministry wants airlines to use Interpol database

PETALING JAYA: The Transport Ministry will talk to airline operators here to link up with Interpol’s Stolen and Lost Travel Documents (SLTD) database to prevent passengers from boarding planes with stolen or lost travel docu­ments.

AirAsia has already announced it will use the system to cover its network of 100 airports across Asia and 600 international flights per day to about 20 countries.
