KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 11 (Bernama) -- Low cost carrier AirAsia has abolished the fuel surcharge for all its domestic and international flights, starting Tuesday.
Passengers need now only pay fares, airport taxes and administration fees, said group chief executive officer Datuk Seri Tony Fernandes.
He also said that the airline would be focusing on aggressive marketing and low fares.
Fernandes however said that AirAsia could not guarantee that the surcharge would not be re-imposed if the oil price surged again.
The airline under its regional campaign is also giving away 500,000 free seats to all destinations from tomorrow until Nov 16 and for travel between June 22 and Oct 24, 2009.
Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Datuk Shahrir Abdul Samad said the decision by AirAsia would have a positive impact on the ongoing price reduction campaign.
"Anything that reduces cost to consumers and keeps money in their pocket, gets my support," he added.
