First Consultation Paper for the Regulation of Aviation Services Charges in Malaysia for Regulatory Period 2 (2027-2029) (“RP2”)(“Consultation Paper”) and Guideline for the Regulation of Aviation Services Charges in Malaysia for RP2 (“Guideline”) (Mar 26, 2025)

Air traffic in Malaysia is experiencing continued growth and is expected to reach pre-pandemic levels in 2025. In light of this recovery, the Commission proposes adopting an incentive-based regulatory framework for RP2, which will commence on 1 January 2027. This framework is expected to improve efficiency in the aviation sector by providing a direct link between the level of charges levied on airport users, and the prudent and efficient expenditure by airport operators.

The Commission has developed the First Consultation Paper and Guideline for the Regulation of Aviation Services Charges in Malaysia outlining the Commission’s proposed incentive-based framework for RP2. The Consultation Paper aims to provide the rationale behind the Guideline and how the Commission is proposing to apply the Guideline to set aviation services charges in Malaysia.

MAVCOM welcomes any party to submit written feedback on this Consultation Paper via e-mail to airport.charges@mavcom.my by 26 April 2025 at 5.00pm.
