LANGKAWI: Rayani Air, the first syariah-compliant airline in Malaysia, is setting a 10-year target to establish a network to capitalise on the umrah and haj pilgrimage market, said managing director Jaafar Zamhari.

For a start, the airline, which just received approval from the Civil Aviation Department to begin operations, is taking “small steps” to fulfil the requirements set under Islamic law in their operations before executing more plans within the next few years.
