AirAsia's Fernandes calls for removal of MAVCOM layer
AirAsia Group CE Tony Fernandes has continued the war of words with the Malaysian Aviation Commission (MAVCOM), calling for responsibilities of the regulatory body to be returned to the transport ministry. Fernandes says that "having regulators in the picture and adding layers of unreasonable cost for air travellers is just not right". AirAsia June 14, made similar comments and criticised MAVCOM for trying to "micro-manage the industry" after it rejected their application to raise frequencies on 2 routes due to overcapacity concerns. Then, the carrier had also called for the granting of route approvals to be handed back to the transport ministry. Fernandes also criticised MAVCOM's 2017 decision to increase the passenger service charge (PSC) at Kuala Lumpur International's KLIA2 terminal. <br/>
