Malaysian Trades Union Congress Secretary-General J Solomon has called on Malaysia Airlines Bhd (MAS) to grant immediate recognition to the National Union of Flight Attendants Malaysia (Nufam) following a Federal Court decision in the latter's favour.

"After a two-year court battle, the Federal Court denied Malaysia Airlines Bhd leave to appeal in a dispute with Nufam over the national carrier’s failure to acknowledge in-flight supervisors (IFS workers) as not being employed in any managerial, executive, confidential or security capacity.
