MAVCOM unveils upgraded airline and airport performance dashboard
Accessible via MAVCOM's official website, the upgraded dashboard now offers expanded insights covering both domestic and international airline operations. It tracks essential metrics such as On-Time Performance (OTP), flight cancellations, delay and cancellation reasons, as well as airport service quality assessments under the Airports Quality of Service (QoS) framework.
MAVCOM monitors the OTP of both domestic and international flights operated by Malaysian carriers, including AirAsia, AirAsia X, Batik Air, Firefly, Malaysia Airlines, and MASwings.
Airlines must ensure at least 85 per cent of their flights depart within 15 minutes of the scheduled time and operate at least 80 per cent of their scheduled flights monthly, with cancellations not exceeding 20 per cent.
MAVCOM executive chairman Datuk Seri Saripuddin Kasim said the introduction of this enhanced dashboard marks a significant step forward in promoting greater transparency and accountability within the aviation industry in Malaysia.
"It allows for improved tracking, analysis, and visibility of performance metrics across both airlines and airports. The dashboard offers a comprehensive and interactive view of the industry's performance, enabling users to customise and access the specific data they need with ease.
"This not only benefits industry players, such as airlines and airports, by providing clear performance indicators they can use to elevate their service levels but also empowers consumers to make more informed choices when selecting their preferred carriers.
"Ultimately, our goal is to foster a greater culture of accountability among aviation operators. By leveraging this data-driven tool, MAVCOM aims to enhance service standards and drive continuous improvements in the Malaysian aviation sector," he said in a statement.
Since first publishing carrier performance data on flights departing from KL International Airport Terminals 1 and 2 (KUL T1 and T2) in April 2024, MAVCOM has expanded coverage to airports nationwide. Users can now access real-time OTP and cancellation data by airport, route, and airline, including performance by foreign carriers departing from KUL T1 and T2.
The interactive dashboard enables users to view flight delay categories and cancellation reasons, along with monthly trend analyses.
Aside from these metrics, airlines are mandated to adhere to the Malaysian Aviation Consumer Protection Code 2016 (MACPC), which outlines provisions for the protection of air travel consumers in Malaysia. Failure to do so may result in financial penalties being imposed. To date, MAVCOM has imposed financial penalties totalling RM4.85 million on AirAsia Bhd, AirAsia X Bhd and Batik Air.
The dashboard features airport performance metrics and results under the Airports QoS framework. This framework establishes standards and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for airports aimed at enhancing passenger comfort, prioritising consumer service levels, and improving the overall experience for both passengers and the wider airport community.
The framework currently applies to KUL T1 and T2, Kota Kinabalu, Langkawi, Kuching, Miri, and Senai airports. These airports are evaluated across four categories: passenger comfort and facilities, queuing times, passenger and baggage flow, and operator and staff amenities. At KUL alone, 28 specific quality elements are assessed under each category.
Assessments are conducted through a combination of operator-reported data, independent inspections, and passenger surveys by MAVCOM.
Non-compliance with the framework can lead to financial penalties. To date, MAVCOM has fined Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd RM4.1 million for failure to meet required standards.
Looking ahead, MAVCOM plans to extend the QoS framework to Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport and Penang International Airport by 2025, with full nationwide implementation expected by 2027.

US tariff rate won't affect Malaysia's commodities market, says Johari
JOHOR BAHRU: The United States' decision to impose a 19 per cent reciprocal tariff on Malaysian goods will not affect the competitiveness of Malaysia's commodities in the global market, according to Plantation and Commodities Minister Datuk Seri Johari Abdul Ghani. He stated that the tariff rate remains competitive compared to other ASEAN nations, including Indonesia, which faces the same rate. 'We're almost on par with the lowest rates in ASEAN. For example, Indonesia is the world's top producer of oil palm, and we're number two. 'They are also subject to the 19 per cent rate, so for us, 19 per cent is fair. It's not a problem,' he said. Johari made these remarks after attending the Pasir Gudang UMNO Division delegates meeting earlier today. The US announced the new tariff rate yesterday, reducing it from the previously proposed 25 per cent. The revised tariffs, effective August 1, 2025, will apply to imports entering the US seven days after the announcement, as stated on the White House's website. - Bernama

Jo Ghani: US' 19 per cent tariff on Malaysian palm oil competitive
PASIR GUDANG: The 19 per cent export tariff imposed by the United States (US) on Malaysian commodities, including palm oil, is considered competitive and not burdensome compared to other Asean countries, said Plantation and Commodities Minister Datuk Seri Johari Abdul Ghani. Johari said Malaysia remained in a good competitive position as the tariff rate was among the lowest in the region. "The 19 per cent tariff imposed by the US on Malaysia is among the lowest in Asean countries. Even Indonesia, the world's largest palm oil producer, is subject to the same tariff rate. If we look at the context of palm oil commodities, Indonesia is the largest producer, number one in the world, and we are number two. But Indonesia is also subject to 19 per cent like Malaysia, so there is no problem, meaning we have a 'fair fight'," he said. He was speaking at a press conference after officiating the Pasir Gudang Umno Division Delegates Conference today. Also present was Defence Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin, who is also an Umno vice-president and Pasir Gudang Umno division chief. Malaysia was subjected to the 19 per cent tariff based on an executive order signed by US President Donald Trump. The document for the reciprocal tariff rate adjustment, signed by Trump on July 31, 2025, has been uploaded to the White House website. Previously, Trump set a 25 per cent tariff for Malaysia, but it is understood that a phone conversation between him and Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim yesterday may have been a factor in the tariff reduction. Johari, who is also performing the duties of the Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability Minister, added that there had been no significant issues with the country's commodity exports due to the tariff rate. "Malaysia's commodity exports are still able to compete fairly in the international market. I don't see any problems so far with the 19 per cent tariff imposed by the US on our country's commodity exports," he said.
