Expensive Airfares in Sarawak
I have received many complaints from the people of
Sarawak, especially those coming from rural areas who are the most affected,
and who felt ‘victimized’ by the costly rural airfares¬ charged by Maswings, a
subsidiary of Malaysia Airlines Berhad (MAS).
For example, the one-way 15-minute economy class airfare
from Miri to Marudi ranges from RM70 to RM80.
