Malaysia’s first Islamic airline takes to the skies

Post by asto »

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — The short domestic flight from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia’s biggest city, begins with a recital of Prophet Muhammad’s supplication before his travel.
The passengers — most of them Muslims — cup their hands, as a crew member murmurs a short prayer over the loudspeaker just before takeoff.

Malaysia’s Rayani Air took to the skies over the weekend with a clear bailiwick. It is the country’s first Islamic airline, offering flights that adhere to Islamic rules, including prayers,
no serving of alcohol or meals with pork, and a strict dress code for Muslim female flight attendants.
