“In other words, Mavcom is rejecting applications on bilaterally-unrestricted routes. This is a blatantly unfair practice,” he posted on LinkedIn, a social media platform geared towards professionals. “A RM1 ‘Regulatory Service Charge’ is imposed on all passengers flying out of airports in Malaysia, in addition to the Passenger Service Charges and Departure Levy.

“Without an SLA, airlines are left with no recourse to address the numerous operational issues such as those at klia2. These include, frequent unplanned runway closures, uneven aprons and taxiways, and a poor airport design that requires long walks to gates and subsequent delays for passengers trying to get to their flights,” he said.“In October 2019, Mavcom will announce the new PSC rates which were developed in accordance with the Regulated Asset Base Framework.

He said however, among Mavcom’s senior management there is resistance to this shift in customer preference for air travel, creating what is a conflict of interest when it comes to an understanding of low-cost versus full-service carriers.
