Fellow travelers, we come bearing some less than good news. 

Based on latest regulations, if you fly from Malaysian airports or to Malaysian airports, there is now an additional fee to pay. 

Starting June onwards, there will be an additional passenger service charges (PSC) when flying in and out of the Malaysian airports. 

The government has adjusted the PSC, to help pay for airport services like security and maintenance. The adjustments will be from 1 June 2024 to 31 December 2026.

The Malaysian Aviation Commission (MAVCOM) said that the newly revised rates range between RM7 and RM73, payable by passengers departing from and transferring through Malaysia. 

The fees also include a security charge for the provision of security services at airports. This is designed to help the aviation industry recover after the COVID-19 pandemic, while keeping things affordable for passengers. 

The new rates are as follows:

Domestic

Most domestic flights (within Malaysia): RM11, no changes

Senai International Airport: RM10-RM50 for domestic/international

International

KLIA Terminal 1: RM73

KLIA Terminal 2 and other airports: RM50

*Regardless of travel within or beyond ASEAN.

Connecting flights (transferring at an airport)

Domestic connection: RM7

International connection at KLIA Terminal 1: RM42

KLIA Terminal 2 and other airports: RM29

However, all flights which have already been purchased prior to 1 June will not be affected.
