AirAsia ordered to pay at least US$9.9m to Malaysia Airports
The Malaysian High Court in Kuala Lumpur has ordered AirAsia and AirAsia X to pay operator Malaysian Airport Sepang MYR40.73m (US$9.9m) in unpaid passenger service charges after ruling in favour of the national airport operator. The LCC was also ordered to pay MYR972,381 and MYR24,000 for late payment and lawsuit fees, respectively. In retaliation, AirAsia Group CE Tony Fernandes took to Twitter and posted photos of beehives at the airport, as well as uneven parking aprons at KLIA2. Since moving to KLIA2 in 2014, AirAsia has been very unsatisfied with terminal design and facilities. The High Court also dismissed AirAsia’s appeal against the Malaysian Aviation Commission for failing to mediate the issue between the two parties, as regulations stipulate. <br/>
