FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
July 1, 2002 Contact: Allen Kenitzer Phone: 425-227-2004 FAA Fines Malaysian Airlines $110,000 RENTON, Wa. -- The Federal Aviation Administration assessed a $110,000 civil penalty against Malaysian Airlines of Subang, Malaysia, for violating U.S. Department of Transportation hazardous materials regulations. The FAA alleged that on July 5, 2001, Malaysia improperly offered a passenger service unit with an attached and undeclared chemical oxygen generator for transportation by air. The hazardous materials were not declared, the crew was not notified the flight was carrying such materials and the shipment was in packages that did not meet specifications for its transport. Oxygen generators are prohibited from being transported as cargo on passenger aircraft. The shipment flew on a passenger carrying flight from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia via Narita, Japan to Los Angeles. The shipment was transported via ground transportation from Los Angeles to Seattle, and delivered to the Boeing Commercial Repair Facility where it was opened. The FAA alleged that Malaysia offered, accepted, and transported hazardous materials that were not properly classed, described, packaged, marked, labeled, or in a condition for shipment required by the hazardous materials regulations. FAA also alleged that Malaysia did not provide required emergency response information. This announcement of the civil penalty is made in accordance with the FAA's policy of releasing information to the public on newly issued enforcement actions in cases involving penalties of $50,000 or more. :confused: Any comments from MH crew? :confused: |
This is nothing new to MAS crew.
This airline had been carrying hazardous products on a passenger flight for the last 10 years, where no other airline would want to carry. Just point a geiger meter to any MAS crew and see how radioactive they are. |
Any idea what the Malaysian CAA have to say about this?

Once upon a time, on an A330 flight from BEIJING to KUL ......... :hmm:

MAS Riding High in Narita
'MAS crew' featured in pornographic VCD
KUALA LUMPUR - Two police reports have been lodged over a pornographic VCD which purportedly features Malaysia Airlines (MAS) cabin crew members. The 40-minute VCD's opening scene shows four MAS cabin crew personnel laughing while coming out of a plane's galley, the Malay Mail reported yesterday. Advertisement The scene then shifts to what is believed to be a hotel room in Narita, Tokyo, where a couple are captured on the camera having sex. In the opening scene, the woman performing the sexual act is shown still clad in the MAS cabin crew uniform. MAS has denied that its current cabin crew members were involved in the sex scene. The airline's management and the female crew member seen coming out of the galley in the VCD - not the one engaged in the sexual act - have lodged separate police reports. The VCD cover carries a picture of a naked woman, who some say resembles a popular singer of the 1980s, said the tabloid. Several copies of the VCD were seized by the Ampang Jaya police during their on-going raids on pirated VCDs. The Ampang Jaya police chief confirmed the police had seized several of the VCDs in their crackdown on pirated VCDs in recent months. The VCD is believed to have been made in January 1999, but its copies have been in circulation for only about two months. The VCDs, priced at RM10 (S$4.70) to RM25 each, are reported to be selling like hot cakes in the Klang Valley. http://straitstimes.asia1.com.sg/asi...85047,00.html? |
