Do not use festive season to raise airfares, says PM

BERA: Airline companies are reminded not to make excessive profits by raising ticket prices to Sabah and Sarawak during the festive season, says Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob (pic).

He said based on media reports, the flight fares to both the states during this festive season increased by up to 500 per cent during the festive season and described the increase as "extreme” because the people had no alternative other than to fly.
