BERA: Airlines should not be making excessive profits by raising ticket prices to Sabah and Sarawak during the festive season, says Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.

The Prime Minister noted media reports indicating air fares to both the states had increased by up to 500% and described this as “extreme” because people had no alternatives other than to fly.
