Malaysia Aviation Group (MAG) announced that all pilots of Malaysia Airlines have successfully cleared drug tests. This announcement follows an incident where a pilot was detained after authorities discovered a significant amount of MDMA in his luggage at Jakarta's airport.

As part of the safety measures, MAG plans to extend drug screening to its cabin crew, with the tests set to begin tomorrow for the 2,840 personnel involved.

The recent screenings come in response to the July 28 incident, highlighting the airline's commitment to maintaining safety and compliance with regulations.
