00:00For the information that is respected, the Ministry of Transportation, through the authorities of the Malaysian Air Force, CAAM,
00:08has always considered the serious aspects of safety and safety precautions
00:13in ensuring the growth of the aviation industry in line with the regulations on the safety standards that have been established.
00:22This includes conducting continuous monitoring and investigation of any incidents involving Malaysian airlines.
00:31In this context, the operation of the new Malaysian Airlines Airbus A330neo aircraft
00:38was suspended for a while on 22 and 23 December 2024
00:43due to technical issues caused by the airbus and Rolls-Royce engines themselves.
00:51In general, aircraft exporters around the world have a problem with the quality of their aircraft
00:57which is caused by a shortage of raw materials for the production of aircraft replacement equipment
01:02and skilled workers in the aircraft export industry.
01:05In terms of the technical issues of the Malaysian Airlines Airbus A330neo aircraft,
01:10both Airbus and Rolls-Royce are responsible for ensuring that the aircraft is in a safe condition for operation.
01:18Therefore, MAG has implemented mitigation measures to identify and address these technical issues
01:26with the cooperation of Airbus and Rolls-Royce through the replacement of problematic components.
01:33The Airbus A330neo aircraft has been in operation since 24 December 2024 and there are no more technical issues.
01:41At this time, MAG has a new Airbus A330neo aircraft
01:46and it is expected that the remaining 19 aircraft will be received from February 2025 until 2026.
01:56In addition, MAG also has a replacement engine for the use of Airbus A330neo
02:02and three replacement engines are expected to be received starting from the 3rd quarter of 2025.
02:09As a result, the Airbus A330neo aircraft has completed 101 flights as of 12 February 2025
02:18without any issues involving routes such as Melbourne, Kota Kinabalu, Doha, Kuching and Kanzai.
02:25In this regard, MAG has also received reports on these technical issues
02:30and is satisfied with the improvements that have been carried out.
02:34MAG will ensure that the quality control measures by Malaysia Airlines are carried out properly
02:40to ensure the safety and reliability of the operation of the airline.
02:45Malaysia Airlines has also asked Airbus and Rolls-Royce
02:49to ensure tighter quality control over the new aircraft that will be received in the future.
02:56In this regard, Malaysia Airlines will always ensure that the quality of the aircraft is at its best
03:03especially for the remaining aircraft that have not yet been received
03:06because the safety of passengers and ships is the priority.
03:13My additional question.
03:15Is the Ministry's plan to increase responsibility for the loss of the original OEM
03:20from the point of view of safety control so that the incident is not repeated
03:24so as to affect the reputation of the MAS itself
03:27and consider the technical issues arising from the quality of the production at the factory level
03:33and the delivery process which can ultimately affect the supply chain and flight operations
03:38due to the lack of components, aircraft and engine replacement equipment.
03:43And will there be an impact on the delay in the first delivery of the A330neo
03:50before that, especially its implications for the design, modernization and development of the Malaysian Aviation Group
03:57given that the same group also faced a delay in the delivery of Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft in 2016.
04:06Thank you, Mr. President.
04:09So, all of these statements are definitely
04:13if we haven't received it, it's definitely not good.
04:19But regarding this delay, it all comes from the inside.
04:23As I said earlier, it's related to the chain and so on.
04:29And the management of MAG has dealt with the aircraft and airbus and Rolls-Royce suppliers.
04:35Airbus and Rolls-Royce aircraft suppliers will commit to address the issues related to the A330neo
04:45as their responsibilities.
04:47And they have made a commitment in the discussions that they will ensure all of this.
04:54Because it is true that it will affect the planning of MAG itself.
05:01But sometimes, we are forced to adapt.
05:04We can't do anything with them, with the delay in the delivery and so on.
05:09So, we hope that with this latest news,
05:12which is about the A330neo,
05:14God willing, in the next two years,
05:16this is still February,
05:18that everything will go according to the schedule.
05:21That is the commitment that has been given by them to MAG.
05:25God willing, hopefully, the planning will not be affected.
05:30Because we really need these aircrafts
05:36so that the planning is easy,
05:38and does not affect our reputation in terms of flights and so on.
