Rayani Air's licence revoked

PETALING JAYA : The Department of Civil Aviation has revoked Rayani Air's Air Operator Certificate (AOC), or right to fly, bringing an end to the short time the world's first shariah compliant airline has been in operations.
The DCA said the decision came after a full investigation of the administration and a safety audit of the airline's state of operations.
In a separate statement the Malaysian Aviation Commission (Mavcom) also announced that it had revoked Rayani Air's Air Service Licence (ASL).
The commission said it found Rayani Air in breach of conditions of its licence and that it lacked the financial and management capacity to operate a commercial airline.
The commission said Rayani Air is still liable to refund ticket holders whom have not flown with the airline due to this action.
In the event consumers are not able to obtain their refunds, they can file a civil suit for those refunds.
This marks Mavcom's first punitive action since its establishment on March 1, 2016.
