Malaysia Airlines pilots have all tested negative for drugs following mandatory drug screening, according to Malaysia Aviation Group (MAG). The company's President and CEO, Captain Nasaruddin A. Bakar, announced that the process is part of efforts to strengthen safety and fitness for duty across MAG operations. The first phase of the screening involved all Malaysia Airlines pilots, who completed the tests as of August 15, meeting the August 15 deadline.
MAG will now proceed to screen 2,840 Malaysia Airlines cabin crew starting August 18, with completion expected by September 3. In addition to the cabin crew screening, MAG will also conduct drug testing on pilots and cabin crew of Firefly, another airline under MAG. As of August 15, over half of Firefly's 158 pilots and 163 cabin crew have completed the screening, with all results negative.
MAG is committed to maintaining stringent safety and professionalism standards, and will continue its ongoing random testing programme, complementing its existing fitness for duty framework.
