Beginning January 1 next year, the passenger service charge for all international destinations from any Malaysian airport will be RM73. Currently, it is RM50 for non-Asean international destinations from klia2 and RM65 from other airports. – EPA pic, December 20, 2017.

IT is not sustainable for the Kuala Lumpur International Airport 2 (klia2) to stick to the passenger service charge (PSC) rates of the old Low-Cost Carrier Terminal (LCCT) as the new airport is more advanced and more costly to run, the Malaysian Aviation Commission (Mavcom) said today.

A Mavcom spokesman told The Malaysian Insight that until this year, PSC rates, formerly known as airport tax, had been stagnant since 2011.

  • What is the role of this stupid money eating commission? Why is it collecting money for a government who doesn't know how to build a low cost airport. Why is umno subletting toll collection to a 3rd party. Sack this fellows, charge then with fraud.
