SUBANG, Jan 21 (Bernama) — Malaysia Airlines is proud to announce its collaboration with KLIA Immigration on the Softcopy General Declaration (GD) system that has been initiated in June 2014 and fully implemented on 1 January 2015 at KL International Airport (KLIA).
According to Malaysia Airlines' Director of Operations, Capt Izham Ismail, This is a breakthrough process for both KLIA Immigration and Malaysia Airlines.
"The national carrier will be the first to implement this system to improve immigration clearance procedures for the airline s crew members at KLIA," he said.
"The Softcopy GD will see a quicker clearance procedure for crew that are rostered, and especially those called up for immediate flight assignments, he added.
KLIA Immigration Director, Dato Mohd Zulfikar Ahmad said, "This process is another achievement and milestone for KLIA Immigration in collaboration with MAS in service delivery efficiency."
To streamline the process, MAHB has provided the infra structure to support and install immigration crew counters at KLIA with the Softcopy GD system to move towards a paperless solution.
Training has been conducted by Malaysia Airlines to ensure the team s readiness and for all Immigration officers to get themselves familiarized with the system.
The Malaysian Immigration Department will be implementing this facility across Malaysian airports nationwide as well as to other carriers operating in and out of KL International Airport in the near future. (BERNAMA)
