MAVCOM’s clarification towards Letter to Editor entitled ‘Losing out in aviation industry’
There were 49 routes governed under the Rural Air Services (RAS), a Federal Government programme that ensures air transport is provided for the rural population in Sabah and Sarawak that would otherwise not be served commercially. Since October 2007, all routes served under the current RAS programme have been operated by MASwings, who are paid subsidies by the Federal Government to operate those routes due to their non-commercial viability.
