KLIA2 is not a low-cost Airport Terminal, but a second Permanent Terminal for KLIA that was built to accomodate the airport's future growth. In a statement today, Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB), said the decision to equalise the passenger service charge, PSC rates between the KLIA and KLIA2 is to facilitate fairer competition between the airlines operating at both terminals. MAHB was responding to a claim by DAP's Tony Pua that the Malaysian aviation commission, MAVCOM's decision to equalise the fees is unreasonable. As the quality of service at KLIA2 was claimed to be inferior when compared with KLIA. In disputing such claim, MAHB said the standardised PSC rates also allows Malaysia to be better aligned to international guidelines - including the International Civil Aviation Organisation Principle of Non-discriminatory Pricing at Airports. Effective January first 2018, the PSC rate for all International destinations from any Malaysian Airports will be at RM73. Despite the full equalisation, MAHB said the country's PSC rates remain one of the cheapest in the region and in the world, even after the full equalisation.
