Liow: Just because DCA raises charges, airlines need not follow suit


Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai during a press conference at the IEM'S 57th Annual Dinner & Awards Night 2016 at Sunway Resort Hotel and Spa, Petaling Jaya.

PETALING JAYA: As the Department of Civil Aviation (DCA) readies to hike its charges, Transport Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai said he feels airlines should not increase its fares because of it.

He said the DCA's one-fold air navigation facilities charges (ANFC) hike would only be a "small fraction" to the cost for the airlines and viewed the new fees as the minimum the Government could go.
