KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Aviation Commission (MAVCOM) has announced revisions to the Passenger Service Charges (PSC) for the First Regulatory Period (RP1).
The revised rates will take effect from June 1 to Dec 31 2026 and is designed to support the aviation sector’s recovery and adaptability in the post-COVID-19 pandemic environment.
“The implementation of the revised PSC is the cornerstone of our strategy to safeguard consumer welfare, support a sustainable and resilient recovery, and ensure the aviation sector’s financial stability while adapting to evolving market conditions.
“The PSC tariff announced today reflects feedback from various stakeholders, aiming to support the industry’s long-term viability, recovery, and competitiveness. By prioritising stability, we have introduced measures to ensure that these rates do not burden passengers, thereby invigorating travel demand. Simultaneously, we ensure airport operators maintain financial viability, allowing them future refinancing opportunities at reasonable rates and continued investment in efficient airport infrastructure,” said MAVCOM’s Executive Chairman, Datuk Seri Hj. Saripuddin Hj. Kasim.
The PSC revision was made after a comprehensive and extended consultation process that commenced in 2021.
