00:00Today, I launch the Batik Air Stable Ship, which was initiated by Batik Air during the
00:09Praian Aidilfitri season, which will come.
00:14This is an additional flight at night, where they offer a fixed price of RM319 for flight
00:22to the destination in Sarawak and RM379 to the destination in Sabah.
00:28This is a good initiative to support the government's efforts to help the Malaysian people,
00:34especially the residents of Sabah and Sarawak, who work or stay in Kuala Lumpur and Semenanjung
00:42to return to celebrate the holiday season.
00:45And this is what we have done for the past holiday season, after two years we have carried out
00:51various initiatives to reduce or reduce the burden of passengers.
00:57In addition to that, the government also set a maximum price of RM499 for a few days before
01:04Eid.
01:05So with this intervention, we can ensure a more reasonable flight price, which does
01:14not exceed up to more than RM1,000 for a flight.
01:19So this is a joint effort between the government and the airline, and I appreciate their role
01:28and their initiative.
01:30And this of course allows us to jointly offer a more competitive price to passengers and
01:39at the same time increase capacity.
01:41That's the most important thing, because we want to ensure that more people can return
01:46to celebrate Eid in their respective villages.
02:02Each airline has its own mechanism, or their own decision in terms of the fixed price.
02:10We have set a maximum price for a few days before Eid, which cannot be more than RM499.
02:17But it can be lower, because if you buy earlier, it will be lower.
02:22But if after RM499, it must be fixed at RM499.
02:30Because we have the basis to provide subsidies if the price exceeds that.
02:36But at the same time, they also offer a fixed price, which is lower than RM499, which is
02:43RM319 for Sarawak.
02:46So this is an offer from Batik Air.
02:49Other airlines also have it.
02:51Asia has it, Mars has it, each has its own offer.
02:54Indeed, the environment is more or less the same.
02:56That, I think, has given an image that it is the least that can be offered by an airline.
03:06Are there any airlines that have offered this offer?
03:12All of them have it.
03:13All three airlines have this initiative.
03:16So it means that all airlines also offer subsidies for Eid.
03:23And this is indeed a common practice.
03:27But this year, I see that the capacity has increased.
03:31More than last year.
03:33Because they have increased the number of aircraft carriers.
03:38For example, Batik Air now has 51 aircraft carriers.
03:44So they are able to increase the number of flights.
03:47Because each flight can be optimized with more.
03:51And with more capacity, of course, it is good for passengers.
03:56There are many options.
03:58There is no need to be afraid of not being able to buy a ticket to go back to your hometown.
04:04How much do you expect the number of aircraft carriers for Eid this year will increase?
04:09Usually, every year, the Eid season will be in full swing.
04:15So we can't expect it yet.
04:18But what is important is that there is an increase in offers.
04:22So Batik Air only offers more than 22,000 capacity for a week.
04:30So this is not yet compared to other airlines.
04:34So there are more than 100,000 capacity at that time.
04:40So we expect that most of this capacity will be fulfilled.
04:44It means that whatever offers from airlines, they will fulfill.
04:48Based on my experience, if there are additional offers, they will also be fulfilled.
04:58Because sometimes many people feel that they can't buy a ticket, they don't want to go back.
05:03When you see that there are more offers, it will encourage them to go back to their countries.
05:10Okay.
05:13I want to ask about KTM. Is there any plans for KTM this year?
05:18KTM. KTM also has additional offers.
05:21KTM will also increase the number of flights for ETS.
05:26ETS will be added to the North.
05:31Several additional trips will be carried out.
05:34We will also optimize other locomotives and vehicles for trips to the East Coast.
