CAAP hikes terminal fees for air passengers

Air passengers will have to pay higher terminal fees starting April 21 as the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) approved the collection of new passenger service charge (PSC) and other fees at its airports.

In Memorandum Circular 019-2025, CAAP Director General Raul L. Del Rosario said the PSC, also known as terminal fees, will be raised to P900 ($17) for international flights from P550 currently. This will be applied to air passengers departing from international airports as well as principal class 1 and 2 airports.

For domestic flights, the PSC is set at P350 if the passenger is departing from an international airport. It is set at P300 if departing from a principal class 1 airport; P200 for those departing from a principal class 2 airport; and P100 for those leaving via community airports.
