KUALA LUMPUR: The Transport Ministry will introduce an initiative in August to ease the financial burden of students at public institutions of higher learning, especially from Sabah and Sarawak, who require air travel.

Transport Minister Anthony Loke said the initiative, which could benefit about 50,000 IPTA students, is currently in the process of integration with the airlines.
