Updates 2 11:30 am 12-4-2012: Apparently the Special Rate Fare charged to AAX is ALL inclusive of the Airport Tax, Emission Tax for London and Paris sectors and Fuel Surcharge. After the deductions for the taxes and Fuel Surcharge, the fare KL – London will be left with RM500 for MAS to cover its fuel cost! It is definitely a rewarding deal to some! But losses to MAS.
In Utusan on 12-4-2012, MAS latest promotions in to Hong Kong fare at RM809, Jakarta RM609 and Ho Chi Minh City RM709. Just compare them to the Special Rate Fare to London that MAS only received a mere pittance of RM500 for up-lifting AAX passengers.
AJ has proudly told the MPs during the briefing on 26-3-2012 that AAX has paid RM20 Million to MAS as deposit. The RM20 million only covers an average cost of about RM570 per AAX passengers!
