Malaysia's Transport Minister Datuk Seri Wee Ka Siong reminded airlines to set reasonable prices so as to not unduly burden those who need to fly for work or otherwise during the recovery phase of the MCO.
KUALA LUMPUR, June 22 — Airlines must work towards lowering ticket prices now that social distancing restrictions have been lifted on airport terminals and passenger aircraft, said Transport Minister Datuk Seri Wee Ka Siong.
As such, Wee reminded airlines to set reasonable prices so as to not unduly burden those who need to fly for work or otherwise during RMCO. “The airlines have informed the government that airfares are determined via a dynamic pricing mechanism based on supply and demand factors that are market-driven. These factors, among others, include passenger demand, the economic situation, costs of fuel and operations.
As air fare also depends on when it is purchased, Wee also advised travellers to plan ahead to enjoy lower fares.Social distancing rules are also no longer mandatory for scheduled passengers who have already passed security checks and are queuing at boarding gates.
