KUALA LUMPUR: A 43% increase in flights has been approved for this year's Hari Raya Aidilfitri period compared to last year, says the Transport Ministry.
The ministry said through the Malaysian Aviation Commission that it has approved 527 additional flights for this festive period.
"However, prices can become expensive when only a handful of tickets are left in the market," the ministry added in a statement on Saturday . "Mavcom has facilitated and approved all additional capacity requests by airlines in offering fixed fares to key destinations within Malaysia. It has approved additional flights in general to address the high demand and lower airfares," it added.
"Even though the airlines have increased their capacity, it is still insufficient to meet the high demand which prompted the ministry and Mavcom to intervene for a second round," it said.
