Fix festive trip rate at RM400, urge Sabah groups

KOTA KINABALU: Round-trip airfares for travellers wanting to return to Sabah and Sarawak for the Kaamatan and Gawai celebrations should be fixed at RM400 with government subsides, say consumer groups and unions.

They said the government should consider subsidising these round-trip tickets instead of capping the fare at RM300 for one-way flights to fly to Sabah and Sarawak during selected periods.
