Not true. My study showed that Air Asia passed on very little to consumers through surcharge. The writer did not do his homework
--------
When crude oil prices were high, travellers were made to pay fuel surcharges. It took a long time before the charges were done away with.

Share 50 50 loh, I think thai is fair

Consumers have right, so do investors

Investors suffered when time was bad, they deserve to enjoy windfall when good time is back

After all, if split half half, consumers pay extra RM2 only.

It would also be unfair to pass on the higher costs to passengers. Airlines should absorb them, make the adjustments to their network and capacity, fly fuller planes, sweat their assets more, and cut costs elsewhere. They should not burden the passenger as they are at the centre of any airline business model.

Sure is $4 only?


For all the radar and traffic control, it should be $40 average.

Safety first.

$40 still affordable as flying is a luxury item.
