AirAsia serves RM409 million letter of demand on MAHB

AirAsia Bhd has served a letter of demand amounting to RM409 million on Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd and Malaysia Airports (Sepang) Sdn Bhd (collectively referred to as MAHB) for loss and damages incurred as a result of operating from klia2 as well as from the LCC Terminal.

In a filing to Bursa Malaysia, AirAsia said in its demand, it had stated that MAHB had failed and/or breached its contractual duties and duty of care, causing the airline to suffer and continue to suffer losses as a result of MAHB’s breach.

AirAsia also claims that the MAHB's breaches had damaged AirAsia's brand and reputation as the public perception was that the failings of the facilities were within the control of AirAsia, being the single largest operator of klia2.
