MAHB’s plans to increase airport tax for international passengers at the low-cost carrier terminal (LCCT) to RM32 from RM25 previously has been opposed by Air Asia.
A check on AirAsia’s Facebook fan page showed that the airline will continue to lobby for no hike in airport tax at the LCCT, with the public’s support. “Look at the queue at the immigration, space for check-in counters, quality of toilets, cleanliness of the facilities – is it really worth the increase?” AirAsia’s head of commercial Jasmine Lee asked in the post.
Not adhering to the airport tax hike at this stage, when it has been approved by the Government,would mean that AirAsia needs to apply to the Ministry of Transport to stop collecting airport tax on behalf of airport operator MAHB.
Tony Fernandes has publicly criticised both MAHB and the Ministry of Transport for the increase. Last week, AirAsia’s co-founder took to twitter to vent his frustration.
