8 April 2022: Courtesy Visit by Qatar Airways

On 8 April 2022, MAVCOM received a courtesy visit by Mr. Ehab Rustam, Head of Line Maintenance International and Mr. Mena Fares, Business Development Manager of Qatar Airways. The visit comes at a timely manner after Prime Minister Yang Amat Berhormat Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob’s recent visit to Qatar from 27 to 29 March 2022. MAVCOM’s Senior Management team was represented by Yang Mulia Raja Azmi Bin Raja Nazuddin, Chief Operating Officer as well as Mdm. Pushpalatha Subramaniam, Director of Consumer Affairs to welcome the honoured guests.

MAVCOM began the courtesy visit with an in-depth presentation on its roles and functions, the Commission’s structure, and workforce, as well as current and future initiatives. Additionally, MAVCOM provided a live demonstration of its FlySmart Travel Advisory guide which enables air travel consumers to stay up to date on the latest travel requirements prior to their travel with updated information on border restrictions, COVID-19 tests, and vaccination requirements globally, among others.

This was followed by an explanation of Qatar Airways’ purpose for the visit to Malaysia as part of their effort in strengthening strategic collaboration between the airline and local industry players. A discussion and Q&A session took place thereafter, for further understanding and to foster a greater working relationship.

MAVCOM wishes to sincerely thank Mr. Ehab Rustam and Mr. Mena Fares for visiting MAVCOM. MAVCOM also looks forward to the continuing bilateral relations and economic cooperation between the two nations, Malaysia and Qatar.
