Malaysia's upcoming revised PSC for local airports place the country in the lower half compared to neighbouring Asean nations, showcasing competitive pricing.
Transport Minister Anthony Loke has downplayed the implications of the revised passenger service charge (PSC) for both Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) terminals.
Amendments to the passenger service charge (PSC) for the First Regulatory Period (RP1) starting on June 1 will only involve the adjustment of Asean PSC rates and destinations beyond Asean, according to Transport Minister Anthony Loke.
MCA has criticised Transport Minister Anthony Loke for adopting strategies contrary to those of other countries in attracting tourists to Malaysia, especially its recent decision to impose the passenger service charge on international flights departing from both KLIA Terminal 1 and 2.
Travellers transferring through Malaysian airports will have to pay a passenger service charge (PSC) of RM7 for domestic flights, and RM29 to RM42 for international flights, effective June 1.
