The is no need for Rayani Air to be called up for a second hearing, the Department of Civil Aviation (DCA) said.

Its director-general Datuk Seri Azharuddin Abdul Rahman said, the department would analyse the statements given by the management of Rayani Air before deciding on action against the embattled airline.

"We've identified several issues and enquired about them, and the airline has replied to us on those issues.

"All answers and information given will be analysed and DCA will decide in due time," he told the media after attending a forum 'Aviation Industry: The Way Forward' at the Malaysia University of Technology (UTM) in Jalan Semarak here today.

Azharuddin, however, declined to reveal the scope of issues posed to Rayani Air in the inquiry.
