PAL asked to cap Siargao flights at P11,000

Philippine Airlines (PAL) has been asked to reduce its one-way fares to and from Siargao to a maximum of P11,000.

This initiative follows discussions prompted by lawmakers questioning the high cost of domestic flights compared to international trips.

Acting Transportation Secretary Giovanni Lopez is set to meet with PAL executives to follow up on this request.

Previously, the one-way fare to Siargao averaged P17,500, with current rates typically ranging between P7,500 to P8,000.

The Department of Transportation is seeking further discounts on the P11,000 cap, especially with the holiday season approaching.
