History
The National Aviation Policy is first proposed and announced on 17 October 2011 The Transport Ministry has been tasked with drafting the policy framework, following an announcement by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak.
Before the announcement the former CEO of MAS, Tengku Datuk Azmil Zahruddin, and AirAsia X CEO Azran Osman Rani, had in 2010 called for a clear aviation policy for Malaysia to ensure free and fair competition on a level playing field.
However, then transport minister Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat had shot down their call, saying that existing guidelines were sufficient.
