PETALING JAYA: Efforts will be made to reduce airfares, especially for the coming Hari Raya festive period, says the Transport Minister.

Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong said his ministry would make every effort to ensure that the aim was achieved to help ease the people’s hardship.The minister said he chaired a special meeting involving the ministry, Malaysian Aviation Commission , Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia and domestic airlines on Thursday evening.

“In this regard, the Cabinet at that time had decided that national airlines providing domestic air services be given freedom in determining network coverage, flight frequency and fare rates to be offered based on market demand. Dr Wee said that based on the monitoring conducted by Mavcom, airfares on April 30 had increased compared to the average airfares in 2019.

Dr Wee said once the country entered the endemic phase and demand increased from consumers, airlines would need more time and replacement tools for re-operational readiness. “CAAM has already approved the necessary extension of the operating hours of air traffic control services at airports.“The Transport Ministry through Mavcom will inform the public of the outcome of discussions with all airlines in the near future,” he said.
