Civil Aeronautics Board

The Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) regulates fuel surcharges for airlines in the Philippines, setting rates that affect airfares for both domestic and international flights. In recent months, CAB has adjusted these rates to reflect changes in jet fuel prices, impacting travel costs during peak seasons like Holy Week and summer vacation. Airlines must file applications with CAB before implementing any new surcharge levels to ensure compliance with regulations.
