The Transport Ministry (MOT) has approved 527 additional flights in conjunction with Aildilfitri this year, involving flight services from six companies, namely Malaysia Airlines, Batik Air, AirAsia, Firefly, MASWings and MYAirline.
In a statement today, the ministry said the measure implemented through the Malaysian Aviation Commission aimed to meet the high demand during the festive season involving flights from the peninsula to Sabah and Sarawak.“Since early March, MOT and Mavcom have taken proactive measures and encouraged airlines to offer reasonable airfares. “MAVCOM has approved all additional capacity requests by airlines offering fixed fares to major destinations in Malaysia,” it said.
According to MOT, Mavcom also approved other additional flights to ensure higher seat availability to deal with increased demand and keep airfares affordable. “The fixed-fare tickets were sold out quickly. In fact, normal fare tickets also saw a high purchase rate which led to increased prices for the remaining tickets,” it added.
