PETALING JAYA: The global standing of the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia (CAAM) as an aviation regulator has finally been restored with its reinstatement as a Category 1 safety and technical regulator by the United States' Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), says Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong.

At a press conference in Montreal, Canada, on Friday evening (Saturday morning Malaysian time), the Transport Minister said the matter was something to be celebrated as it has been nearly three years since CAAM was downgraded to Category 2.
