SINGAPORE (Bernama): Singapore has proposed to meet with Malaysia to discuss the latter's setting-up of a permanent Restricted Area for the purpose of military activities over Pasir Gudang effective Jan 2, 2019.
Singapore Ministry of Transport said the Restricted Area being within a controlled and congested airspace will impact the existing and normal operations of aircraft transiting through the airspace.
“We have raised with Malaysia our concerns over the Restricted Area's adverse impact on civil aviation,” it said in a statement issued in response to media queries on Malaysia's establishment of the Restricted Area.
According to the statement, the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia published a Notice to Airmen (Notam) on Dec 25, 2018.
By this Notam, Malaysia has informed the aviation community of its setting-up of a permanent Restricted Area for the purpose of military activities over Pasir Gudang with effect from Jan 2, it said. - Bernama
