DET for Malaysia Aviation Group

DET Forum Malaysia and Peter Tan Training in collaboration with Malaysian Confederation of the Disabled have been contracted to provide DET and Disability-Related Services Training (DRST) to over 5,000 customer-facing staff from Malaysia Airlines, Maswings, Firefly and their ground crew and contractors. DET sessions are held from Mondays to Thursdays every week and will continue for a period of one year until all the staff are trained.

Subsequent to this training, Malaysia Airlines Berhad Academy, where the training are currently being held, was made more accessible with the construction of a kerb ramp, allocation of a sheltered accessible parking bay and modifications to the toilet for the convenience of disabled visitors. At the airport, the check in counter for special handling and counter for special assistance have been consolidated. They were previously located at different locations. The group is also looking at processes and approaches in making the airlines more accessible to disabled passengers in services and facilities.
