Group Chief Executive Officer Tan Sri Tony Fernandes said this would be a plus point for consumers and the economy, as the tourism industry is a great job creator.

“This decision was made in November 2014,But, we are only able to implement it now and believe removing the fuel surcharge and reducing travel costs, will be a huge boost to the tourism industry,” he added. The abolishment of the fuel surcharge is expected to further reduce travel costs and stimulate more demand for travel and tourism.
