There is a need to tighten the rules around the operations of foreign aircraft in the country, says Anthony Loke.
The Transport Minister said the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia (CAAM) is currently investigating the Beechcraft Model 390 which crashed en route to Subang Airport from Langkawi on Aug 17 last year, which showed there are loopholes that need to be plugged.

00:00I have two questions. First, the crash report states that Jet Valley is not licensed to operate aircraft here.
00:15But the CIM said last year that it was licensed.
00:19Second, will the Ministry of Transportation take action against Jet Valley for operating without appropriate license and for allowing the co-pilot to take over?
00:36First, it is a general aviation. It is not an airline. It is a private jet operator.
00:42So, in terms of enforcement, I entrust it to the CIM to continue the investigation.
00:49Whether they violate the rules or violate any of our Civil Aviation Laws.
00:56If there is a violation, of course, action must be taken against the company in question.
01:02As for the question of why the co-pilot took over, we cannot answer.
01:08Because it happened.
01:11At that time, why did the pilot allow the co-pilot to be the captain that day or take over his place?
01:20That's something we only found out after the investigation.
01:24Because this was found out when the investigation was conducted by the BSKU.
01:28When we heard their audio conversation through the black box, we just found out that the co-pilot was in the pilot's seat.
01:36So, that's something that cannot be answered by our side.
01:40So, this is a violation in terms of procedure compliance.
01:45So, as I said, after this report has been released, the CIM will do their best to improve the situation.
01:55Because, as stated in the report, there is a bit of confusion in terms of regulations regarding this foreign aircraft.
02:05A foreign aircraft that operates as a general aviation.
02:10It is not a foreign airline. So, don't get me wrong.
02:13All general aviation companies are not airlines for ordinary passengers.
02:18This is general aviation.
02:20So, their operations are different.
02:23And indeed, there is a need for us to tighten the regulations regarding this foreign aircraft.
02:32It may be owned by a foreign company.
02:36And not licensed in Malaysia.
02:38So, when they enter Malaysia or operate in Malaysia, there are regulations that need to be tightened.
02:49The CIM is conducting an investigation.
02:51The CIM has seen this since last year.
02:54And they will report to the ministry later this year.
