"The ministry hopes the discussions with Air Asia and MAS can be concluded soon,"Datuk Mustapa Mohamed, Higher Education Minister
JELI, June 3 - Low-cost carrier AirAsia has agreed in principle to give special fares to students, Higher Education Minister Datuk Mustapa Mohamed said today.
He said the special fares would benefit students from the peninsular who were studying at higher learning institutions (IPTs) in Sabah and Sarawak and students from Sabah and Sarawak at the IPTs in the peninsular.
The final decision had yet to be announced, he told reporters after opening a promotional programme by Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) here today.
Mustapa said the Cabinet had asked AirAsia and Malaysia Airlines (MAS) to consider giving students special fares so that those from poor families would not feel the burden every time they return home during semester holidays and to celebrate festivals with their families.
"The ministry hopes the discussions with Air Asia and MAS can be concluded soon," he added.
