DOTr orders shutdown of airline booking site over excessive fares
June 03, 2025
|The Freeman
The Department of Transportation (DOTr) on Monday, June 2, said that it has ordered the takedown of a well-known online airline booking platform for allegedly charging unreasonably high ticket prices.
-
In a June 2 briefing, Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon said he was alerted by Rep. Richard Gomez (Leyte, 4th District) about unusually high airfare prices on the booking platform AirAsia Move. Dizon also presented screenshots from the app to support the claim.
A Philippine Airlines ticket from Tacloban to Manila for two passengers was listed on AirAsia Move for as much as P77,720, with economy class fares starting at P49,507. In contrast, booking directly through PAL on the same date showed the same ticket costing no more than P12,600.
