YB Tuan Wee Choo Keong [WANGSA MAJU] asks the Minister of Transport to state why AirAsia had been given a special privilege to owe airport tax amounting to RM65 million (as at 28-02-2009) when other airlines were not accorded a similar privilege; and what actions have MAHB taken against AirAsia for the airport tax debt and what is the total current airport tax owed by AIRASIA to-date?
Jawapan:
Tuan Yang Di Pertua,
Untuk makluman, AirAsia tidak pernah diberikan sebarang hak keistimewaan berhutang cukai lapangan terbang (airport tax) sebanayak Rm65 juta. Sebaliknya, AirAsia dan MAHB mempunyai beberapa percanggahan. Dalam hubung ini,, sehingga September 2009, AirAsia telah melangsaikan semua hutang mereka kepada MAHB yagn berjumlah RM112.06 juta.
Soalan Tambahan:
Terima kasih Tan Sri Yang
owed airport tax since its incorporation in 2002 until now and MAHB awarded AirAsia with incentive of RM25 million.
We all should also owe our income tax, service tax and other taxes and the government should also give us discount as an incentive. What a big joke. It is unheard of in the world. No other airline in the world is allowed to owe airport tax for 7 years and thereafter given incentive.
“AirAsia tidak pernah diberikan sebarang hak keistimewaan berhutang cukai lapangan terbang” – tak malu Timabalan Menteri. Kalau tiada hak keistimewaan, mana boleh hutang airport.
Boleh hutang airport tax daripada tahun 2002 hingga September 2009 (7 tahun) dan MAHB tidak ambil tindakan – bukankah ini membuktikan hak keistimewaan AirAsia?
Menteri yang bodoh!
Why are AirAsia ans AirAsia-X are so special that they were given special incentive worth RM25 million and the incentive was deducted from the airport tax. Big Joke!
What have AIrAsia done that no other airlines have done. What AirAsia have done no other airlines could have done i.e. owing airport tax to the tune of RM132 million from the date of incorporation in 2002 until 2009. Tell me which other airlines could owe airport tax for 7 years and then be rewarded with incentive worth RM25 million. Even our national carrier (MAS) could not owe airport tax.
Tony Fernadez should be conferred with the title of Tan Sri for his achievement in getting the BN government bowed to AirAsia! This was also the “4th Floor” achievement!
with the massive expansion, AirAsia will not last long. The government must control the expansion properly before it collapse. Then public fund had to be used to bailout.
