IATA: M’sian airlines still in good standing

KUALA LUMPUR: Individual Malaysian airlines are still in good standing, says the International Air Transport Association (IATA), an organisation that represents some 290 airlines comprising 82% of global air traffic.

“We understand that the downgrade is with reference to the regulator, not the airlines, ” said Albert Tjoeng, IATA’s Asia-Pacific assistant director for corporate communications in response to a query from The Star on how CAAM’s downgrade affected the industry.
