KUALA LUMPUR - A total of 17,708 one-way flight tickets from the Peninsula to Sabah or Sarawak will be sold at a maximum price of RM300 in conjunction with the Kaamatan Festival and Hari Gawai.

Transport Minister Anthony Loke said the special price will be offered by all domestic airlines for the travel periods on May 27, 28 and 29 to Sabah and May 29, 30 and 31 to Sarawak.

"Travellers can still buy tickets at a lower price if the original ticket price is less than RM300.

"The government bought (a total of 17,708 tickets) from the airlines and we sell them all at a maximum discount price of RM300," he said at a press conference after the Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad (KTMB) Hari Raya celebration at its Kuala Lumpur station here today .

According to Loke, the pilot project is aimed at solving the problem of expensive flight ticket prices during the festive season and if successful, it will be presented to the Cabinet so that it can be used as an ongoing initiative. - Bernama
