Malaysia Airlines (MAS) customers using the newly launched Apple iPad MHkiosk will get a waiver on the administrative fee for travel during the six-month pilot project period.

MAS charges an administration fee of RM30 for domestic destinations and RM60 for international destination, said its managing director and chief executive officer Tengku Datuk Azmil Zahruddin after unveiling the kiosks.

The initial five kiosks are stationed at KL Sentral and the national carrier expects 10 per cent of its customers to use the MHkiosk for their transactions, he said.

Customers going to the KL Sentral office, which serves about 900 customers a day, can now book and purchase flights, search for flight schedules and flight status, check-in as well as choose their preferred seat via the kiosk.
