AirAsia Berhad has served a letter of demand on Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd and Malaysia Airports (Sepang) Sdn Bhd for damages incurred while operating from klia2 and the Low Cost Carrier Terminal (LCCT).
In a statement today, the airline said it is seeking RM409 million for the alleged loss and damages.
“AirAsia in its demand has stated that MAHB has failed and/or breached its contractual duties and duty of care which has caused AirAsia to suffer and continue to suffer losses as a result of MAHB’s breach,” the statement said.
AirAsia also claimed that the alleged breaches had damaged AirAsia’s brand and reputation as the “public perception is that the failings of the facilities are within the control of AirAsia being the single largest operator of klia2”.
AirAsia CEO Aireen Omar had previously reiterated her company’s past objections to the airport before the airline even moved there.
“The airport is still sinking,” she said.
