Airfare Relief Philippines to Experience Lower Airfares with Fuel Surcharge Reduction in 2024

Air travelers in the Philippines can look forward to lower airfares starting in January 2024, thanks to a reduction in fuel surcharges. The Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) has announced that the fuel surcharge for airlines will be reduced to Level 6 from the previous Level 7.

This adjustment translates into a decrease in the additional costs that passengers will incur. For domestic flights, the fuel surcharge will now range from P185 to P665, while for international flights, it will be between P610.37 and P4,538.40. This change results in airfares becoming more affordable compared to the Level 7 rates, which were P219 to P739 for domestic flights and P722.71 to P5,373.69 for international flights​​​​​​.
