Alcohol-free flights: Take it to Parliament, says Nufam Aedi Asri | June 1, 2017

Nufam president points out that the association had also proposed that Malaysia Airlines stop serving alcoholic beverages for safety and health reasons.

PETALING JAYA: Any political party that wants the government to remove alcohol from the menu on Malaysia Airlines (MAS) flights should take the matter to Parliament, said the National Union of Flight Attendants Malaysia (Nufam).
“The MPs can raise this proposal in Parliament and debate on it if they really want (alcohol to be banned on Malaysia Airlines flights),” said Nufam president Ismail Nasaruddin.
He was commenting on PAS Youth’s call for the ban, which came after a disruptive passenger, whom Deputy Transport Minister Abdul Aziz Kaprawi said appeared drunk, caused a MAS plane to turn back to Melbourne last night.
While Ismail said Nufam had no wish to be linked to any political party, he pointed out that the association itself had proposed to the government and MAS management that the airline stop serving alcoholic beverages.
“Our call was based on health and security factors. Alcohol during a flight can put passengers’ health at risk.

“It was also made to prevent disruptive behaviour on flights which will ultimately heighten the stress level of our cabin crew,” he told FMT.
Nufam had in the past also urged that Muslim cabin crew be exempted from serving alcohol.
Ismail acknowledged that most passengers no longer drink excessively when on board an aircraft, adding that MAS itself had stopped serving alcoholic beverages on flights less than three hours long.
But he agreed that the time has come for MAS to review its policy on alcoholic beverages.
“MAS has continued this service for business reasons, to attract customers and as an advantage over airlines that do not offer alcoholic beverages,” he said.
Australian police earlier today said the disruptive passenger on MH128 had been released from a psychiatric facility hours before he boarded the plane yesterday.
Flight MH128 left Melbourne Airport at 11.11pm and was to arrive in Kuala Lumpur at 5.28am today (June 1). However, it turned back to Melbourne after the operating captain was alerted by a cabin crew of a passenger attempting to enter the cockpit, MAS said.
The Sri Lankan national, who was overpowered by crew and other passengers, had allegedly threatened to blow up the plane, but the device he claimed was an explosive turned out to be a powerbank.
