RM1 flight levy starts January 2018
ALL passengers leaving Malaysia by air will have to pay a levy of up to RM1 from January, following changes to the Malaysian Aviation Commission (Mavcom) Act 2015.
“The Government spent almost RM30mil on Mavcom’s operational costs last year. The levy for air travellers is justified, considering the services Mavcom provides, which range from receiving and processing complaints to conducting educational activities,” he said.
The changes to the law also allows Mavcom to impose penalties for any non-compliance over guidelines on competition, regulatory fees and charges.

Asean to open skies further
Asean to open skies further
Asean countries signed the protocol to put into place a package of commitments to further liberalise air transport services in the region.
At the 23rd Asean Transport Ministers Meeting, the countries also agreed to improve connectivity among member states.
Transport ministers and senior officials from Asean member countries attended the two-day meeting. Also present were dialogue partners from China, Japan and South Korea.
Among the highlights of the meeting was the conclusion of the “tenth package of commitments on air transport services under the Asean Framework of Services”.
Liow said the ministers also signed the protocol of domestic code-share rights, allowing code-sharing arrangements between the marketing airline and domestic airline in Asean member countries.
“This would increase connectivity between Malaysia and other Asean member states.
“At the same time, it would enable designated airlines of Malaysia to offer their passengers a wide range of travel options which can extend beyond the airlines’ own network and route structure,” he added.
Liow said the ministers signed the Mutual Recognition Arrangement on Flight Crew Licensing, which would facilitate air services to complement liberalisation efforts in Asean, and ensure the highest degree of security in international air transport.
They also reached an agreement on the Facilitation of Cross Border Transport of Passengers by Road Vehicles.
“This is to promote seamless cross-border mobility of passengers between Asean member states,” said Liow.
He added that the ministers had concluded the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the authorities in charge of aircraft accident investigation under the Asean-China partnership.
“This agreement would further strengthen Malaysia’s cooperation with China in relation to aircraft accident and incident investigations, sharing experiences and expertise in various specialist fields, equipment and research,” he said.

New theme park for ‘kids to be adults’ in Johor
New theme park for ‘kids to be adults’ in Johor
Hands-on experience: Tee (third from right) and Greenland Malaysia Real Estate Operator Sdn Bhd general manager Du Fugen (second from right) visiting an art corner during the sneak preview of the G-Kids theme park.
Johor has welcomed its 12th theme park with the introduction of the G-Kids theme park, which lets children experience being adults, in Permas Jaya here.
The 28,000 sq ft park is expected to start operating in November and children will have the opportunity to enjoy all kinds of “careers” through role-playing.
The park includes 29 experiment rooms for activities such as performing magic tricks, cooking and baking, and for sports and games. There is also a candy shop in there.
The theme park allows children to learn about life skills, cultivating their future career direction by giving them a chance to determine the path they want to choose through these experiences.
State Tourism, Domestic Trade and Consumerism Committee chairman Datuk Tee Siew Kiong said the new park by Greenland Helios Cove was in line with the Johor Tourism Master Plan (2014-2023), which emphasised family-themed tourism products in the city.
He said the state government would continue to promote the theme parks and stay committed in making Johor Baru a family-friendly travel destination.
Since the opening of Legoland Malaysia in 2012, many family-oriented theme parks had opened to attract not only domestic travellers but also international tourists, he said after a sneak preview of the G-Kids theme park yesterday.
Tee said Johor would have a few more water theme parks, including the one at Desaru Coast that will be the biggest in South-East Asia and expected to begin operations in mid-2018.
Besides that, the Merlin Entertainment Group and Theme Attraction was also planned to introduce a maritime-themed park located at the Iskandar Puteri area, he added.
