KUALA LUMPUR: Regulators and policymakers in the airline industry have been urged to rebuff the additional RM23 passenger service charge (PSC), which AirAsia believes is an unfair and unreasonable attempt by Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB). “MAHB will continue to be among the most profitable Malaysian companies for many years to come. “But this will come at a cost to the wider Malaysian economy and at the expense of engines of growth such as AirAsia and AirAsia X ,” he said in a statement today. Meanwhile, AirAsia X Malaysia CEO Benyamin Ismail opposed the price hike from each passenger travelling through klia2, saying it is “unjustified high charges” given its “passenger-unfriendly airport” environment. “We will not be part of this scheme to burden the travelling public by making them pay more for below par services,” he added.
