The Department of Transportation (DOTr) yesterday said the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) is penalizing AirAsia Move for attempting to sell one-way flights to Tacloban for P39,000 each.

"The P6-million penalty imposed on AirAsia Move sends a clear message: the government will not tolerate any form of abuse to Filipino passengers," the DOTr said.
