KUALA LUMPUR: The Transport Ministry will introduce an initiative this August to ease the financial burden of students at public institutions of higher learning, especially from Sabah and Sarawak, to buy flight tickets.
Its Minister Anthony Loke said the initiative, which could benefit about 50,000 IPTA students, is currently still in the process of integration with the airlines.
Loke said the local aviation industry including MYAirlines have an important role to play, particularly for students who have to traverse across the South China Sea as flights are their only travel option. "I’m pleased to announce that MYAirlines will be offering a 20 per cent fare discount and 15kg complimentary baggage allowance to students travelling on domestic flights under this programme.
"I hope this will also be a catalyst for other airlines to have similar programme to help the people,” he said.
