The two sister companies are locked in a bitter dispute with Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd over the passenger fees that both have refused to collect after the airport operator standardised this at KLIA and klia2. BAR welcomed the High Court’s decision in dismissing AirAsia’s application to strike out suits by MAHB over payment of outstanding airport tax, saying in a statement that the refusal to collect the extra-imposed PSC charges from passengers has led to an uneven playing field.

“It must be stressed that AirAsia did not collect these monies from the passengers as we believe they should not be burdened into unfairly paying for inferior services as they would for the more well-equipped and spacious KLIA.
