Open-skies are bringing air fares down rapidly in Asean which is good news for consumers but worrisome for airlines as margins are squeezed in the battle for market share

AFTER years of travelling back to Kuala Lumpur from Singapore by coach and car, Rita Kaur decided to take her family to the skies. She checked out the cheap fares to Kuala Lumpur in the Singapore newspapers and found what she wanted. Last Monday, she flew into KL with her husband, two daughters and their domestic helper at just S$150 (RM360).
