The Malaysian Aviation Commission (Mavcom) is reviewing the Malaysian Aviation Consumer Protection Code 2016 (MACPC) to align with the impending introduction of carbon fee for air travel, expected to be implemented as early as April this year. 

Mavcom said that the Transport Ministry had agreed in principle to permit both local and international airlines operating in and out of Malaysia to charge a carbon fee on domestic and international flights.
