MAS to go ticketless for domestic travel from May 1

Malaysia Airlines (MAS) will go ticketless for domestic transactions beginning May 1, 2006.

The move will help save 15 per cent in distribution costs annually, the national carrier said in a statement.

Also, the move is in line with "Flying to Win Customers", which is one of the five thrusts of its business turnaround plan.

MAS said transactions via this facility are expected to increase from the current annual average of 5 per cent to 30 per cent over the next one year.

The airline will cease all conventional ticketing at its offices for domestic travel.

Customers have the options of booking and payment via the airline's corporate website www.malaysiaairlines.com, its 24-hours call centre (1-300-88-3000) and at both airport and city ticketing offices in Malaysia.
