Subsidising Peninsula-Borneo States flights for two weeks will incur significant costs, says Loke

LANGKAWI: The proposal to extend the RM599 maximum fare from a three-day period to two weeks for one-way economy class flights from the peninsula to Sabah, Sarawak and Labuan, in conjunction with Hari Raya Aidilfitri, will incur significant costs, says Transport Minister Anthony Loke (pic).

Loke said that the initiative, which also applies to other festive seasons, was undertaken by the Transport Ministry with no specific funding from the Treasury.
