Malaysia yet to decide on compulsory aviation carbon tax, says Loke
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia has yet to decide whether to implement a compulsory carbon tax for the aviation sector, though it remains committed to net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, said Transport Minister Anthony Loke.
The Malaysian government, led by Transport Minister Anthony Loke, is taking measures to bolster checks on aviation personnel, including pilots and cabin crew, in response to the case involving a Malaysia Airlines pilot linked to an international drug trafficking syndicate. The Ministry of Transport (MOT) and the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia (CAAM) have pledged full cooperation with the police in their ongoing investigation, providing necessary information and access to airport facilities and personnel.
This move comes after the arrest of six local men suspected of involvement in the syndicate, following information obtained from the pilot during questioning by an NCID team in Jakarta.
