AirAsia “taken aback” by ruling to pay $9.9 million to Malaysia Airports

AirAsia has said it is “taken aback” by the Malaysian High Court’s decision to order the group to pay MYR40.73 million ($9.9 million) for outstanding Passenger Service Charges (PSC) to Malaysia Airports (Sepang) Sdn Bhd (MASSB). AirAsia founders Tony Fernandes and Datuk Kamarudin Meranun said: “AirAsia strongly believes that the court has erred and we will appeal this decision. AirAsia will apply for a stay of execution and challenge MASSB’s and its parent Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad (MAHB’s) actions – which we maintain are a burden on all travelling Malaysians – until we exhaust all avenues available under the law.
