INDUSTRY LOOKOUT: MANILA, Philippines — Air travelers may see cheaper fares in June after the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) slashed fuel surcharges to their lowest level on record.

In an advisory issued Wednesday, the CAB downgraded fuel surcharges from Level 4 to Level 3, applying to both domestic and international flights starting June 1.

Under Level 3, domestic passengers will pay between ₱83 and ₱300 in fuel surcharges—down from ₱117 to ₱342 under Level 4. International surcharges will range from ₱273.36 to ₱2,032.54, compared to the previous ₱385.70 to ₱2,867.82.

Fuel surcharges are fees collected by airlines on top of base fares to help offset fuel costs.

Passengers flying to Caticlan, Legazpi, Kalibo and Roxas will be charged ₱133, while those headed to Laoag, Iloilo, Bacolod, Cebu and Puerto Princesa will pay ₱179. Longer routes like Dumaguete and Siargao carry a ₱234 surcharge, and flights to Davao and Zamboanga cost ₱271.

For international travel, fees start at ₱273.36 for routes to Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Vietnam. Flights to Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia are at ₱378.06, while those to Japan and South Korea reach ₱425.24. Long-haul flights to Australia and the Middle East are charged ₱940.59, and routes to North America and the UK will carry a ₱1,935.75 surcharge.

Local carriers continue to expand capacity. Cebu Pacific expects delivery of seven new aircraft this year after adding 17 in 2024. Philippine Airlines is awaiting 13 Airbus A321neo aircraft from 2026 to 2029.

Top destinations include Japan, Vietnam, Boracay, and Siargao.
