KUALA LUMPUR – Malaysia Airlines (MAS) will slash the fuel surcharge by up to 60 percent for travel within South East Asia, starting with the Kuala Lumpur-Bangkok route.
The fuel surcharge on the Thai route will be reduced this week from US$75 to US$27, while reduction for other Asean routes is due to be announced shortly.
An MAS spokesman defended the decision to keep the fuel surcharges on long-haul international flights, claiming that although the crude oil price had dropped to around US$40 per barrel compared to a high of US$147 last July, “the jet fuel price had not dropped significantlyâ€.
MAS recently removed the fuel surcharge for domestic travel.
