Confirmed: amount owed by AirAsia to MAHB in airport tax up until 28 February 2009 is RM65 million. Why is the budget airline allowed to owe the amount until today?


Soalan No: 60

Tuan Wee Choo Keong [ Wangsa Maju ] minta MENTERI PENGANGKUTAN menyatakan mengapa AirAsia dibenarkan berhutang Airport Tax yang sebenarnya dibayar oleh semua penumpang dan dikutip oleh AirAsia dan setakat 28 Februari 2009, apakah jumlah hutang Airport Tax AirAsia yang belum dibayar dan apakah tindakan yang akan diambil oleh MAHB untuk menuntut hutang tersebut.

Jawapan

Tuan Yang di-Pertua, jumlah hutang tertunggak AirAsia bagi caj Perkhidmatan Penumpang (dengan izin Airport Tax) sehingga 28 Februari adalah sebanyak RM65 juta.

Untuk makluman Yang Berhormat, Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad (MAHB) dan AirAsia telah memaklumkan bahawa kedua-dua pihak telah mencapai jalan penyelesaian dan persetujuan dalam menangani isu pembayaran hutang tertunggak tersebut.

Oleh sebab jalan penyelesaian telah dicapai oleh kedua-dua pihak terlibat, maka Kementerian menganggap perkara ini telah selesai dan tidak ada sebab untuk pihak Kerajaan mengarah MAHB mengambil tindakan ke atas AirAsia berhubung perkara ini.

Notes:

1. Airport tax is already paid by the paying public and Air Asia has no right to owe it to the authority. The airline should immediately forward the RM65 million to MAHB with interests.

2. The authority should consider withdrawing all airport facilities extended to Air Asia as it had done to Pelangi Air, which was owned by the Terengganu state government when it was under PAS, and when the amount owed by the airline was much smaller by far.
