Airlines to charge cheaper in April
The Philippine Star
|March 21, 2025
Filipinos will pay for cheaper airfares when they book flights in April, after the government lowered the fuel surcharge by a notch in time for the peak travel season.
In an advisory, the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) told airlines to bring down the fuel surcharge to Level 4 in April, from Level 5 this month.
At Level 4, airlines can charge a fuel surcharge of P117 to P342 for domestic flights and P385.70 to P2,867.82 for international trips.
Level 5 allows airlines to collect P151 to P542 for local flights and P498.03 to P3,703.11 for foreign trips.
The reduction in fuel surcharge bodes well for travelers who plan to book a flight during the dry season, when demand for air travel is at its highest.
