KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia Aviation Group Bhd (MAG) president and group CEO Captain Nasaruddin A Bakar has clarified that his remarks on maintaining a level playing field in the aviation industry referred to the consistent application of airport charges and passenger service charges (PSC), disputing a Bloomberg report that linked his comments to calls for equal government financial assistance to airlines.
Nasaruddin said his position was that all airlines operating in Malaysia should pay the applicable charges when using the same airport infrastructure, rather than receiving different treatment.
His clarification followed a question on whether other airlines should receive the same preference or government assistance if a bailout involving an airline were to take place.
