Loke: Domestic flight price review to be completed by month-end


PARLIAMENT | The study on the price of air tickets for domestic flights during the festive season is expected to be completed by the end of the month, Transport Minister Anthony Loke said today.
Loke said the Malaysian Aviation Commission (Mavcom) is in the final stages of finalising the prices of the air tickets.
“A comprehensive study is being finalised. We have not determined the approach for the ceiling price nor other approaches, but in principle, the policy decision to be made would not have a negative impact on the people.
“There is no point in fixing the ceiling rate during the festive season, while on normal days the prices of air tickets cannot be controlled,” he said.
Loke was responding to a supplementary question from Takiyuddin Hassan (PAS-Kota Bahru) on whether the ceiling price for air tickets during the festive season could be implemented during the question and answer session at the Dewan Rakyat today.
Earlier, when replying to the original question from Alice Lau (Harapan-Lanang) on the price of MASwings domestic air tickets in Sarawak, Loke answered that it would be implemented by fixing the air ticket price without imposing other charges by the operator, such as the fuel surcharge.
"The ceiling will be reviewed more frequently, and it is based on the joint agreement between the Transport Ministry, Mavcom and MASwings according to the current needs,” he said.
