AirAsia MOVE told to stop selling airline tickets in PH
Manila Bulletin
|June 03, 2025
The Department of Transportation (DOTr) has ordered AirAsia MOVE, the online booking arm of Malaysia-based AirAsia, to cease selling airline tickets in the Philippines due to reports of alleged fare overcharging.
In a press conference on Monday, June 2, Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon stated that Leyte 4th District Rep. Richard Gomez had alerted him about the platform’s high ticket prices.
Based on a booking done last weekend, a Philippine Airlines (PAL) ticket from Tacloban to Manila for two passengers was listed for as much as P77,720 in AirAsia Move.
Booking directly on the flag carrier’s website showed that the one ticket cost just around P12,100 during the same period.
“So clearly, this is just absurd. What AirAsia MOVE is doing is criminal,” said Dizon.
Dizon suggested that the platform could have increased its fare “to take advantage” of the state of emergency across various areas in Eastern Visayas following the load restrictions at the San Juanico Bridge.
