The Malaysian Aviation Commission, MAVCOM will be monitoring closely on the issue of ‘RM3 fee for KLIA2' imposed by AirAsia to its customer.



Not on the same page with the airline, the commission said the fee imposed since 2014, was unethical.



Its Executive Chairman, Tan Sri Abdullah Ahmad said MAVCOM will also to look into the claim by AirAsia  that the charged was imposed on the airline by MAHB.



AirAsia’s ‘RM3 charge for KLIA2’ was heavily criticised, as customers across the country take to social media expressing their frustrations and dissatisfaction over the matter.



Its CEO at that time, Aireen Omar, explained the fee includes the aerobridge charge, the check-in system and other new things implemented in KLIA2 that were not available at LCCT.

MAVCOM definitely disagrees with this. They used the KLIA2 name to confuse the customers as if the fee was charged by the airport. Frankly speaking, MAHB (Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad) does not even get one sen from the charges. It is unethical because you collect money by using people's names. It is not right.)
