Hike a huge blow to budget travellers


I AM writing in response to the report “PSC hike at KLIA2 will affect travel – AirAsia chairman” (The Star, Oct 6) on the plan to standardise the passenger service charge (PSC) between KLIA and KLIA2 by the Government.

I am a small-time businessman from Cyberjaya. I often travel to China for work and whenever possible, opt to travel on the cheap to save cost. As such, budget air travel is my best friend when it comes to my business trips.
