The Malaysian government's continued subsidies for capped airfares during the holiday season have successfully addressed public concerns over high air prices, according to Transport Minister Anthony Loke. He attributed the success to a year of the MADANI government implementing subsidies during the holiday season. Loke noted that complaints about exorbitant prices, such as RM2,000 for flights to Tawau or Sandakan, were no longer prevalent on social media. He stated that the fixed-fare policy had effectively controlled airfare costs and eliminated complaints about price surges compared to previous years.
: Langkah kerajaan melanjutkan pemberian subsidi bagi menjayakan inisiatif kadar tambang penerbangan maksimum pada musim perayaan, berjaya mengurangkan rungutan rakyat mengenai harga tiket penerbangan yang mahal, kata Menteri Pengangkutan Anthony Loke.
“Tahun ini kita tidak lagi dengar rungutan di media sosial tentang tiket mahal seperti RM2,000 untuk balik Tawau atau Sandakan. Semuanya terkawal dan ramai yang mengambil peluang dengan tambang tetap ini. Loke berkata demikian kepada pemberita selepas majlis pelepasan penerbangan tambahan Malaysia Airlines ke Tawau dan Sandakan, Sabah sempena Tahun Baharu Cina di Lapangan Terbang Antarbangsa Terminal 1 di sini hari ini.
“Ada syarikat penerbangan yang menawarkan tambang tetap serendah RM300 bagi penerbangan khas waktu malam. Usaha ini membuktikan intervensi kerajaan berjaya meringankan beban rakyat,” katanya.
