Malaysian Aviation Commission exploring charging airline passengers

Extra fees: If RM1 is charged per airline passenger, Mavcom can easily make RM83mil a year.

PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Aviation Commission (Mavcom), set up in March, is exploring the possibility of charging a small amount of up to RM1 per airline passenger to fund its operations, aviation executives said.

Besides charging airline passengers, other sources of income include charging for licences. Sources said the existing charges for the passenger service charges (PSC) for travellers had also come under review.
