KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Aviation Commission (Mavcom) will transfer its regulatory functions and responsibilities over to the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia (CAAM) from Aug 1, 2025.
In a statement, Mavcom said the rationalisation of the two entities - which was announced by the Minister of Transport in June - will be implemented in accordance with the Malaysian Aviation Commission (Dissolution) Act 2024 [Act 856].
The functions assumed by CAAM will include, but are not limited to, licensing, allocation of Air Traffic Rights (ATR), airport development, Rural Air Services (RAS), economics and competition matters, as well as general regulatory oversight.
CAAM will also oversee the management of digital platforms such as AeroFile and AeroLicence for processing overflight and landing permits, as well as licensing applications.

"Our priority is to ensure a smooth and seamless transition with minimal disruption to stakeholders and the public. The sustainability and continued growth of Malaysia’s aviation industry remain at the forefront of our efforts throughout this process," said Mavcom executive chairman Datuk Seri Saripuddin Kassim.
All Mavcom's consumer platforms will remain fully operational during and after Aug 1, 2025.
Consumers may continue to lodge complaints on airlines or airports through the existing FlySmart website and mobile app. Any future updates to contact information will be communicated via CAAM's official channels.
