Kuala Lumpur: The Government should consider reducing air fares from peninsula to Sabah, Sarawak and Labuan not just on festival days.
The Transport Ministry has set a maximum price of RM599 for a one-way economy class flight ticket from the peninsula to Sabah, Sarawak and Labuan for a three-day travel period ahead of this year’s Aidilfitri celebration.
However, Senator Datuk Noraini Idris said the flight fare is expensive also on non-holiday days.
“It was more than a week after Chinese New Year this year where the airline fares had risen sharply, and even one-way economy class at one point was RM1,500.
