Last month, Transport Minister (MOT) Anthony Loke announced that the government will be introducing a flight subsidy initiative for students pursuing their education at public higher educational institutions nationwide.

In his announcement, the government will be offering a subsidy of RM300 to public university students in Malaysia in a form of a credit shell so students can use it for domestic flights for students to travel between their home town to their universities.
Students Can Start Using The Newly Implemented Initiative
As the semester breaks are underway, students can now start planning their journey back to their campuses by using the subsidy to book their flight tickets via our local airlines AirAsia, Batik Air, MYAirline and Malaysia Airlines which also covers flights via Firefly and MASwings.

According to MOT, the FLYsiswa subsidy was introduced as a way to strengthen ties between those in the Peninsular, Sabah, Sarawak and Labuan while tackling the rising issue of living cost. The initiative is said to benefit over 56,000 public university students with an estimate cost of RM16.8 million.
How Do Students Check Their Eligibility &amp; How Is It Issued?
For students to check their eligibility, they can visit the Transport Ministry&rsquo;s Flight Subsidy portal and enter their IC number along with selecting their public university name. Do note that students who registered at a public university for the academic year 2022/2023 as of 30 June 2023 are also eligible for the subsidy.

As for their flights, students can apply for them via their preferred airline. Unfortunately, they will only be given the choice of one airline and if the application is successful, a digital voucher worth RM300 in the form of a credit shell will be issued to the student. On a good note, the credit shell can be used on multiple flight bookings if the fare is less than RM300. If there is any balance retained from that credit shell, it can be used for their next flight purchase.
The FLYsiswa subsidiary can be redeemed starting 15 August 2023 and must be redeemed by 31 December 2023. Though the redemption period ends on 31 December 2023, worry not as eligible students can still use the remaining credit to purchase flight tickets after the voucher expiry date.
Is There A Limitation In Flights For FLYsiswa?

As the aid is meant to be used when students travel from their hometown to their university, the credit shell can be used for both one-way and return tickets in the following scenario:
<ul>
<li>Students from Sabah, Sarawak and Labuan studying in Peninsular Malaysia</li>
<li>Students from Peninsular Malaysia studying in Sabah, Sarawak and Labuan</li>
<li>Students from Sabah studying in Sarawak and Labuan</li>
<li>Studens from Sarawak studying in Sabah, Labuan</li>
