Over 56,000 Public University Students to Benefit from Flight Subsidy

More than 56,000 public university students across Malaysia are set to benefit from a new government initiative providing a RM300 subsidy for domestic flight ticket purchases. This programme, aimed at easing the travel costs for students between their place of origin and place of study, has an estimated total cost of RM16.8 million. The subsidy is facilitated through participating airlines, which will issue digital vouchers to eligible students for use on specific carriers.
Subsidy Details and Eligibility

The government has allocated a RM300 subsidy per student for the purchase of flight tickets on domestic routes. This initiative is specifically for public university students and covers both one-way and return economy class tickets. The travel must be between the student's hometown and their educational institution.
Participating Airlines and Redemption Period

Eligible students can utilise their RM300 digital voucher for flight tickets purchased from Malaysia Airlines, AirAsia, Batik Air, Firefly, and MYAirline. The deadline for redeeming these vouchers to purchase flight tickets is October 31. If a ticket purchase is less than RM300, the remaining balance on the voucher can be applied to subsequent ticket purchases with the same airlines.
How to Check Eligibility and Apply

Public university students are required to verify their eligibility for the flight ticket subsidy via the Transport Ministry's website, with further details on this process to be announced. For those who are deemed ineligible, avenues for appeal exist through the Ministry of Higher Education via their respective universities, or by applying directly on the websites of the selected airlines.
