CAB will continue charging for Level 8 fuel in December.
Fuel surcharges for both domestic and international flights will remain at Level 8 for the upcoming month, according to the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB).
According to a Nov. 20 advisory, the fuel cost under Level 8 will stay between PHP253 and PHP787 for a one-way domestic ticket and between PHP835 and PHP6,208 for international travel, depending on the distance.
According to the advice, airlines that want to charge or collect a fuel fee for the same time period must submit an application to the Office of the Executive Director on or before the effective date.
The conversion rate that will be used for the fuel surcharge collection in the comparable currency for the same time period is 1 USD to 58.72 PHP.
Local airlines, meanwhile, applauded the CAB’s decision to maintain the current FSC level on Friday.
AirAsia Philippines said in a statement that the program “helps all airline businesses to cushion the effects of the unpredictable fuel cost and the falling currency of the peso versus the US dollar.”
On the other hand, Philippine Airlines declared that it would adhere to the level 8 matrix and would reflect it on tickets that customers would buy in December.
We have continuous program collaborations that offer promotional rates to lessen the load on our customers, according to PAL.
Both airlines stated that they are increasing their flight capacity to meet the burgeoning demand for air travel.
increase of passengers at NAIA
An official stated at a public briefing on Friday that the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) is anticipated to have a 13 to 15% rise in passenger volume throughout the course of the holiday season.
In November 2022, there will be an average of 100,480 passengers per day traveling to and from all NAIA terminals.
Bryan Co, senior assistant general manager of Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA), said, “When we say peak season, that would be from December 15 to early January. We are expecting the passenger flow to increase by about 15%.”
He said that domestic operations have already surpassed pre-pandemic levels and that overseas operations have surpassed pre-pandemic levels by 60 to 70 percent.
“We ensure full staffing at the airport. The MIAA and the airlines make sure there is enough staff to handle the anticipated increase in the number of passengers. In order to guarantee a seamless process at the airport, other government agencies are also assisting us “explained Co.
In order to ensure that all equipment and aircraft are adequate for the operations, he further stated that MIAA is working in conjunction with the airlines and ground handlers.
