PUTRAJAYA (March 1): The Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia (CAAM) has advised that recent airspace closures in parts of the Middle East may disrupt certain international flight services. In a statement Sunday, CAAM said airlines operating to and from the affected region could face delays, retiming, rerouting or cancellations due to evolving airspace restrictions and operational considerations. “CAAM is closely monitoring the situation and engaging with the relevant airlines to ensure passenger interests continue to be safeguarded,” the statement said. Airlines were also urged to provide appropriate care, assistance and alternative travel options to affected passengers in accordance with the Malaysian Aviation Consumer Protection Code (MACPC). CAAM said it will continue to monitor developments and work closely with industry stakeholders to ensure safe operations and protect consumer rights.
