Transport Ministry to meet Aviation Commission over Rayani Air passenger rights

JOHOR BARU: The Transport Ministry will discuss with the Malaysian Aviation Commission (MAC) to discuss the rights of passengers.

Transport Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai (pic) said all matters related to passengers’ rights following the suspension would be referred to the MAC.

“We have given them (Rayani Air) warnings to beef up their operations following complaints by their customers and the decision by the airline to suspend their operations shows that we are serious,” said Liow.

Rayani Air announced on Saturday that it had suspended operations with immediate effect.

The company’s owner, Ravi Alagendrran, told mStar Online (The Star's malay language news portal) that the suspension would last for a period that will be announced at a later time.
