MAG says mass drug screenings for Malaysia Airlines crew near 100pc

Malaysia Aviation Group (MAG) has nearly finished drug testing all Malaysia Airlines cabin crew after a pilot's drug-related arrest in Jakarta.

President and CEO Capt. Nasaruddin A.

Bakar reported that 98.8% of the crew tested negative, with the rest scheduled soon.

The initiative began following the Indonesian detention of a Malaysia Airlines officer with illicit drugs.

MAG plans ongoing and frequent testing for all airline crew, including pilots, to ensure safety.

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 4 — Malaysia Aviation Group (MAG) has completed drug screenings for nearly all Malaysia Airlines cabin crew following the arrest of a pilot in Jakarta, president and group chief executive officer Capt. Nasaruddin A. Bakar said today.

Nasaruddin told reporters that 98.8 per cent of the carrier’s 2,840 cabin crew members have tested negative so far, with the remaining 1.2 per cent scheduled to undergo screening today.

“It will be an ongoing process, including for pilots,” Nasaruddin said following an event announcing new route launches for Malaysia Airlines and its budget subsidiary Firefly.

MAG, the parent company of the flag carrier, ordered mass drug testing across its cabin operations last month after an off-duty Malaysia Airlines second officer was detained in Indonesia on July 29.

Indonesian authorities arrested the pilot at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport after discovering 25 kilograms of ecstasy pills and 2.7 grams of methamphetamine in his luggage.

The pilot, who was traveling in the cockpit jump seat as a passenger, tested positive for methamphetamine, ecstasy, and cocaine.

He was allegedly promised RM50,000 to transport the illicit drugs.

On Aug 17, MAG announced that all operationally active Malaysia Airlines pilots had undergone drug tests and tested negative. Nasaruddin suggested the company plans to make testing continuous.

“We will do random tests and it would be frequent,” he told reporters.

在一名飞行员在雅加达因涉毒被捕后，马来西亚航空集团（MAG）已基本完成对所有马来西亚航空公司机组人员的毒品检测。

巴卡尔报告称，98.8%的船员检测结果呈阴性，其余船员的检测工作也将很快进行。

该行动的起因是印尼警方拘留了一名藏有毒品的马来西亚航空公司职员。

MAG计划对所有航空公司机组人员（包括飞行员）进行持续和频繁的测试，以确保安全。

吉隆坡，9月4日讯——马来西亚航空集团（MAG）总裁兼首席执行官纳萨鲁丁·A·巴卡尔上尉今天表示，在雅加达一名飞行员被捕后，该集团已完成对几乎所有马来西亚航空公司机组人员的毒品筛查。

纳萨鲁丁告诉记者，该航空公司 2840 名机组人员中，98.8% 的检测结果为阴性，其余 1.2% 的机组人员计划于今天接受筛查。

“这将是一个持续的过程，包括对飞行员而言，”纳萨鲁丁在马来西亚航空公司及其廉价子公司飞萤航空宣布开通新航线的活动后表示。

马来西亚航空母公司 MAG 上个月下令对其客舱运营部门进行大规模药物检测，此前一名马来西亚航空公司的休班二副于 7 月 29 日在印度尼西亚被拘留。

印尼当局在苏加诺-哈达国际机场逮捕了这名飞行员，并在他的行李中发现了 25 公斤摇头丸和 2.7 克冰毒。

当时作为乘客坐在驾驶舱的折叠座椅上的飞行员，其甲基苯丙胺、摇头丸和可卡因检测结果呈阳性。

据称，他被承诺支付5万令吉的报酬来运送这些非法毒品。

8月17日，马来西亚航空集团（MAG）宣布，所有仍在运营的马来西亚航空飞行员均已接受药物检测，结果均为阴性。纳萨鲁丁表示，公司计划将检测工作持续进行。

“我们将进行随机检测，而且检测频率会很高，”他告诉记者。

马来西亚航空公司将于12月恢复釜山航线。
