Was it suppose to be low cost? We want a reliable airline, if low cost and delay like AirAsia what is the point

And 200 is expensive?

Swk gomen never said AirBorneo would be a low cost airline.
But airfare for turboprops should be comparable to Maswing's.

Considering no other airline serves this route presently, there's nothing "competitive" about the pricing. Unless AA starts this route, which highly unlikely they will, SBW-MYY currently only operated by MW which AirBorneo is taking over so they can dictate the price as long as there is demand.

But comparing KCH-MYY, competitor operates direct flight offering below RM200 on jet, AirBorneo has a stopover, operates turbo prop both legs and charging over RM200.

Turboprops carry fewer passengers, but still need two pilots. Cost per passenger is higher.

In future, AirBorneo could do this route with larger jets.

This is with food, free seat selection, n free check in luggage. Pls research n tell how much the total cost for these three benefits.

Oh free extension of ticket validity in the event of bereavement post starting journey.

Guide dogs traveling with OKU for passengers. get extra free luggage

Oh are those lofis still charging for using the customer/check inservice counters??

Not everybody needs food, seat selection and check-in luggage.

Anyway, as explained in my post above, turboprops have different operating costs. Let's wait for AirBorneo start its jet operation.
