PETALING JAYA – The government will announce the special flight ticket prices for students at institutions of higher learning soon, said Transport Minister Anthony Loke.

He said this involved students from Sabah and Sarawak furthering their studies in the peninsula as well as those from the peninsula studying in Sabah and Sarawak.

He said despite the increase in the number of flights and larger aircraft capacity, it still could not meet the high demand.

“To return home to celebrate Hari Raya Aidilfitri, only high-priced business class tickets are left…we will have a plan for students (to purchase tickets) with government subsidies,” he told a media conference after breaking fast with Prasarana Malaysia Bhd employees here yesterday. – Bernama, April 13, 2023
