KUCHING, Dec 15, 2025: Soon-to-be launched state-owned AirBorneo has reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining fair and reasonably priced air fares across its Rural Air Services (RAS) network.
In a statement, it said all routes during the initial period of operations are under the RAS network, the same as those currently operated by MASWings and are within Sarawak, Sabah and Labuan.
“The fare structure is calibrated to support the continuity and sustainability of operations, taking into account the subsidy to be provided by the public service obligation agreement with the federal government’s RAS Agreement.
“There has been no increase in fares on any AirBorneo routes compared to the MASwings fares, and the rationale of the RAS Agreement is to maintain fares at reasonable prices that balance accessibility and operational sustainability,” it explained.
AirBorneo recently launched their booking website on December 10, offering tickets available for booking from January 14 2026.
This is in line with the legal and operational takeover of MASwings by AirBorneo Holdings Sdn Bhd from January 1, 2026.
AirBorneo will continue to engage with the federal government and also look at other options to obtain the best possible air fares for travellers in East Malaysia.
Any adjustments will be made once a new RAS agreement is mutually agreed with the federal government.
For non-RAS routes to be launched in the future, AirBorneo is developing an affordable pricing strategy which enables the airline to consider its costs while also delivering excellent value, connectivity, reliability and punctuality to the people of Sarawak, Sabah and Labuan.
