The Malaysian Aviation Commission (MAVCOM) is reviewing the passenger service charge (PSC) for international flights beyond South-east Asia at KLIA2.
MAVCOM intends to raise the amount from the current RM50 (US$11.60) to RM73, the rate charged at KLIA, to promote fairer competition between airport operators in the country. The PSC for flights within South-east Asia is RM35 at all airports nationwide.
According to Malay Mail Online, MAVCOM’s COO Azmir Zain said the change is likely to be rolled out by January 2018.
Travellers departing Malaysian airports will also be subjected to a levy of RM1 imposed by MAVCOM as early as 2018, Channel NewsAsia reported. This will apply to all departing passengers on domestic and international flights, with the exception of rural air services to the interiors of Sabah and Sarawak.
