拉菲達砲轟民航局“殺鵝取卵”


（吉隆坡20日訊）亞航X主席拉菲達砲轟民航局“殺鵝取卵”，徵收過高民航收費，指航空業將因此倒閉。

“你這樣對我們，哪天我們沉船了，你也可以關門了。”

交通部長拿督斯里廖中萊早前表示，民航局將分階段調漲空中導航服務收費，每次漲幅也限制於最高一倍。

我國航空費用已多年未作調整，以致政府自1970年起得撥出大筆津貼幫助航空業，這次費用調漲，將有助航空業維持在國際間的競爭力。

Seven Malaysian air carriers have joined forces to form the Association of Malaysian Air Carriers (AMAC), which will provide a common platform to discuss issues affecting the industry.

A press statement from AirAsia’s communication department said that subject to the approvals from the respective boards and Registrar of Society, the founding airlines of this association would be Malaysia Airlines Bhd, MASwings, Firefly, AirAsia Bhd, AirAsia X Bhd, Malindo Air and Berjaya Air. The association will be open to all Malaysian air carriers.

It said that with all the main operators represented, the association would ensure one voice for the airline industry while representing common industry interests among institutions such as the Transport Ministry, Department of Civil Aviation and the Malaysian Aviation Commission.

“The AMAC will engage in subjects such as enhanced air traffic control services, aeropolitical concerns, safety and security standards in airports, charging regimes and other related issues,” it said.

“By joining forces, the association will also promote healthier growth for the industry and create highly qualified jobs, both directly and indirectly, for the sector and the broader aviation eco-system.”

PUTRAJAYA: The Department of Civil Aviation (DCA)'s increase in fees and charges for the aviation industry will be staggered, said Transport Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai.

He said the decision was made after a meeting between the DCA and airline companies on Tuesday, which had requested for the staggered increase to enable them to plan their budgets and avoid the impact on the airfares.

"We had a warm and fruitful meeting and the stakeholders now understand our intention and commitment to provide better services.

3.00 is matter of time, ha ha ha

Good news from Liow, thank you, : )

Liow: DCA’s proposed fee hike yet to be finalised

PUTRAJAYA: The proposed increase in fees charged by the Department of Civil Aviation (DCA) on airlines operating out of Malaysia has yet to be finalised, says Transport Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai.

He said he had ordered DCA to engage with all stakeholders concerned to get their feedback before a decision was made.

Liow said the engagements had started, citing one dialogue which was attended by hundreds of representatives from the industries involved.

“The ministry will study all the feedback before we make a decision.

“Nothing has been finalised yet,” he said here yesterday.

A report in StarBiz on Wednesday claimed that airlines operating out of Malaysia would be expected to pay up to 10 times more in fees charged by the DCA effective April 15.

next week good news ? DCA under pressure to revise, AA up already, : )

民航局調高營運費‧MATTA主席震驚‧“市場疲軟時機不宜”


（吉隆坡7日訊）馬來西亞旅遊總會（MATTA）主席拿督韓沙對於民航局將從4月15日大幅調高數項航空營運的收費感到震驚，並認為目前市場依然疲軟，不適宜提高有關收費。

“相比本身的收入，民航局更應優先考慮國家的利益；此外，高額的收費將成為航空公司增加航班及新運營商進來的阻礙。更糟的情況是，它會導致現有的航空公司撤出馬來西亞。”

他發表文告指出，相比前年，去年的遊客人數共少了171萬6千64名；如果機票價格上漲及航班數量下降，今年計劃吸引3千50萬名遊客目標可能受阻。

“收費突如其來的大幅增加對航空旅遊及我們的旅遊業來說都不是好兆頭。收益管理並應不局限於提高收費，而是該收集更大的利益，好讓更多航班受惠。”

他說，這將對本地旅遊業及國家收入造成不利影響，肯定不符合國家策略。

尼葛翁：費用調高或轉嫁乘客

此外，該總會名譽秘書長尼葛翁也指出，已有許多旅客害怕費用調高，因為通常航空公司都會將有關調漲費用轉嫁給乘客。

“小幅度的漲價都會帶來很大的不同，因為消費者對價格非常敏感，許多人寧願冒險自己訂購機票，都不願繳付30令吉的服務費給旅遊代理。”

陳國良：影響東馬人民來半島

大馬旅總副主席（入境）拿督陳國良則指出，若國內機票價格上漲，依賴乘搭航空前往半島的沙巴及砂拉越人民將會受到嚴重的影響。同時，本地旅遊業也會大受打擊，因為有60%的旅客前往東馬都依靠乘搭飛機。

“若航空公司都準備好自行承擔額外費用的話，將不會出現這些問題，但似乎不太可能，向大馬航空公司的反應就是個好的跡象。”

另外，該總會票務副主席札莉娜解釋，機票的價格包含機票及稅務，收費則被稱為TFC，而就算機票維持原價，TFC的價格一旦上升，機票也將漲價。（星洲日報／財經）

Solid, : )

“We want to understand how the charges are formulated as it is quite a substantial increase. It would be a good idea to obtain feedback from the airlines. Perhaps, a gradual charge would be less of a surprise,” AirAsia Malaysia CEO Aireen Omar said in an SMS to StarBiz.

Malaysia Airlines Bhd CEO Christoph Mueller said “we are caught off-guard by this monumental and prohibitive increase in fees after 42 years of stagnation. Current airspace users cannot be charged with fees which are related to previous airspace utilisation”.

He said the significant increase and immediate implementation was unprecedented from a charging regime in international air travel and would make foreign carriers avoid Malaysian airspace, which will, in turn, have a knock-on and adverse impact on the industry and for international and Malaysian travellers.

Mueller called for the DCA to explain the basis for the prices set.

“While we will adhere to the requirements, we will also discuss with the DCA the possibilities of reducing its fees. This is not just for us, but for our passengers as we need to keep our fares low and for the growth of the tourism industry,” said Malindo Air CEO Chandran Rama Muthy.

安聯星展研究在納入所有衝擊後，亞航和亞航X的目標價只略為下調1-4%，至2令吉15仙和16仙，因此目前保持評級和目標價不變，給了亞航“買進”評級，目標價2令吉20仙，以及亞航X“全面反映價值”，目標價17仙。

Alliances DBS has revised its TP, : )

what happen to its Batu Kawan project, : )

yes, AA investors will move to AAX soon, : )

For AirAsia X, the impact is less severe as all of AirAsia X's flights are international outbound from Kuala Lumpur International Airport.

"Our rough estimation is that it paid RM4.3 million to Malaysia DCA in 2015. This figure is bound to jump up to RM43 million based on the new tariff, a substantial RM38 million increase or 70% of our FY16's core net income forecast. "

"I don't think international flights will be bothered so much because the distance to get outside of Malaysian airspace from all the international airports (KLIA, Penang, Langkawi, Johor Bahru, Labuan, Kota Kinabalu, Miri, Kuching) are relatively short, and therefore incur minimal additional charges," Maybank IB Moshin

don't worry, just wait for U- turn, : )

DCA news definitely screwed up the momentum, but as usual, i think the fees will be reduced after negotiation with the great bolehland super power, : )

Sky-high DCA fees, airlines to pay up to 10 times present rate

PETALING JAYA: Airlines operating out of Malaysia will be expected to pay up to ten times more in fees charged by the Department of Civil Aviation Malaysia (DCA) effective April 15.

The increase in fees for everything from the usage of air space, air traffic facilities and other services to the air operator’s certificate (AOC) and the pilot’s flight licence will see a big increase under a review of fees and charges made by the DCA after 40 years.

Some airlines are surprised with the high fees, as they thought it was still at a proposal stage when they were briefed by DCA officials last Friday, but it is learnt that the DCA wants to start charging the new fees next week.

The rise would lead up to a ten-fold increase in airlines’ monthly air navigation flight charges (ANFC), which forms the biggest cost item for the usage of DCA services.

Under the revised fee, the bigger the aircraft, the more the cost, and even the smaller jets, cargo planes and helicopters have not been spared.

This will certainly eat into the airlines’ bottomlines and potentially lead to higher airfares. Airlines may also impose miscellaneous charges in a bid to pass on the higher cost to travellers.

“The rise is too drastic and too fast,” said an airline executive.

He said the worst hit by this new charges would be airlines like AirAsia, Malaysia Airlines and Malindo Air that have several hundred domestic flights per week. These airlines did not respond to queries from StarBiz.

Based on the briefing given to the airlines, the ANFC charges will rise from five sen per nautical mile now to 50 sen for lightweight aircraft. For the bigger birds (the A320/A330 and B737/B777), the cost will rise from RM1-RM2.50 per nautical mile from 10-25 sen now, and the super jumbo A380 will see charges swelling to RM3 from 30 sen now. The minimum charges will be raised from RM5 to RM50 per nautical mile.

As for the AOC, which is a vital document for airlines to fly, the initial approval fees will balloon to RM80,000 yearly from RM400 now for mid-sized aircraft, and yearly renewals will rise from RM400 to RM30,000.

Pilots who have to be licensed to fly will have to fork out RM500 for their initial flight crew licence and RM300 for yearly renewals from RM100 and RM60 now.

“If an airline is paying RM120,000 a month now in ANFC fees, its bill will rise to RM1.2mil a month depending on aircraft type and frequency.

“Similarly, flights to East Malaysia, a high-frequency route, will cost airlines more from a mere RM160-RM176 for 800 nautical miles now for the KL-to-Kota Kinabalu route to RM1,600-RM1,760 when the new charges come into effect, although it depends on aircraft type and frequency,” said an airline executive.

Some airlines are unhappy with the new charges, but DCA director-general Datuk Seri Azharuddin Abdul Rahman when contacted by StarBiz yesterday said “they have to understand that our expenses for delivery of services is going up as well. We have to upgrade our systems, maintain and replace them as we want to give them the best.

“Hence, we have to charge a bit. In any case, there has not been a revision in the pricing since 1970 and it costs us money to provide the services,” he said.

But some airlines feel that they are already spending a lot to bring tourists into the country.

“This new fees will make us less competitive. The fees are higher than that of Singapore and even Thailand, and we cannot compare the new pricing with that of Australia and New Zealand, as there they are much more efficient,” said another airline executive.

He added that “while we agree to a certain percentage rise, it cannot be 1,000%. The DCA will need to review its rates”.

Azharuddin said: “If you look at the statistics, we are still the lowest in the world, and even if we increase the fees, it will still be lower compared to some other countries in this region.”

He said the DCA had spent RM1.41bil to build infrastructure and systems to deliver an efficient air traffic management system. The new KL air traffic control centre (ATCC), expected to be operational by 2018/2019, is costing the DCA RM650mil, he said.

For future upgrades, the DCA needs about RM550mil to upgrade the new Kota Kinabalu ATCC and for other system upgrades elsewhere in the country.

“Yearly, we are spending about RM125mil just on maintenance, and that is why we need to raise our rates. We are essentially building a new ATCC for the benefit of the airlines,” Azharuddin added.

may be CIMB will hv to revise its TP again tonight, 0.12 ? : )
