Malaysia’s Department of Civil Aviation has deferred plans to hike air navigation flight charges (ANFC) by a factor of 10 on airlines operating out of Malaysia. Originally scheduled to take effect April 15, the increase will now happen in stages over a still undefined period. It will cover the use of airspace and all other services provided by the agency to the carriers. It will even cover fees for pilots’ licenses.
