PETALING JAYA: AirBorneo Airways Sdn Bhd has announced its full participation in FLYsiswa, the government-backed air travel subsidy initiative spearheaded by the Ministry of Transport (MoT).
Designed to support higher education students travelling between Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah, Sarawak and Labuan, FLYsiswa provides eligible students with a digital voucher worth RM400 to subsidise their domestic economy flight tickets.
Through this initiative, AirBorneo aims to bridge geographic divides and ease the financial pressure faced by students attending public universities, polytechnics, community colleges, matriculation colleges and teacher education institutes.
By leveraging AirBorneo’s expanding regional network and frequency of flights, students can now plan their trips home during semester breaks, festive seasons, and emergencies without the strain of high travel costs.
AirBorneo CEO Megat Ardian Aminuddin, said their participation in FLYsiswa reflects their deeply rooted obligation to community welfare and look forward to welcoming thousands of students on board their flights, ensuring they enjoy seamless, reliable, and affordable travel home.
Malaysian students enrolled in public higher education institutions can check their eligibility via MoT’s official portal subsidiudara.mot.gov.my and redeem their RM400 FLYsiswa digital voucher directly when booking flights through AirBorneo’s official website and mobile application. The voucher redemption period for AirBorneo flights starts today and runs until Nov 30, with bookings valid for travel dates up to Dec 31.
