On 13 August 2018, the competition law regulator for the civil aviation industry, the Malaysian Aviation Commission, issued a 55-page Technical Paper.
The Technical Paper analyses the pricing patterns of airfares of domestic flights during selected peak seasons in Malaysia.
A comparative study of regulatory measures taken by other countries such as Indonesia, Philippines and the United States is also discussed in the Technical Paper.
It is suggested in the Technical Paper that Malaysia could learn from Indonesia’s experience in regulating airfares by imposing a floor price, a ceiling price and a surcharge rate for each domestic route.
