MAS price structure to enable Malaysians to fly


Kota Kinabalu: Deputy Transport Minister Datuk Douglas Uggah Embas said Malaysia Airlines (MAS) has a different ticket price structure to enable Malaysians to visit interesting places in the country.

He said there are six different ticket prices for the economy class, including two online ticket prices, under the price structure offered by MAS.

"MAS fliers can now purchase cheaper economy class tickets compared to previously," he said when replying to a question from Kota Kinabalu MP Datuk Dr Yee Moh Chai in Parliament, Thursday.

He said the national carrier is also offering promotional fares, such as group fare, senior citizen fare and student fare, apart from the promotional fare to certain destinations during certain seasons.

Dr Yee had asked the Minister of Transport what steps had been taken to reduce the fares between the peninsula and East Malaysia so that those in the middle and low-income group could travel within the country that could enhance integration among the people.

Douglas said AirAsia had also increased the frequency of flights between the peninsula, Sabah and Sarawak from 332 flights to 469 flights a week.
