Malaysia’s Aviation Commission revises passenger service charges, introduces ASEAN tier

Starting next year, the Malaysian Aviation Commission (MAVCOM) will introduce a new passenger service charge (PSC) tier for travel to ASEAN countries at RM35 (US$8.30) per departing passenger, down from the current RM65 (US$15.50) at Kuala Lumpur International Airport. Malaysia is the first ASEAN country to introduce such a tier, MAVCOM said. The aviation authority said Monday that the new tier for ASEAN flights is set between the revised PSC rate for domestic and international flights from KLIA, Kuala Lumpur International Airport 2 and other Malaysian airports. <br/>
