AirAsia won't adhere to new airport tax plan
by hlk Thu 24 Nov 2011, 17:58
AIRASIA Bhd will not adhere to a planned increase in airport tax scheduled to take place this month, the low cost carrier said in a statement posted on its Facebook fan page today.
The carrier added that it will continue to lobby for the status quo to remain.
'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 Bhd head of commercial Jasmine Lee said in the statement.
Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB) had announced on October 27 2011, that it plans to proceed with a RM7 increase in airport tax or passenger service charge, at the low cost carrier terminal in Kuala Lumpur International Airports on November 15 2011.
This would bring the airport tax for LCCT to RM32.
