Philippine Airlines announces cheaper flight tickets for Manila and other cities

asmaa - | World News

Good news awaits travelers on Philippine airlines in February, as the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) in the country has decided to lower the fuel surcharge levels.

The revision brings the surcharge from Level 6 down to Level 5, influencing the overall cost of flight tickets.

Cheaper flight tickets for Philippine Airlines in February

The revised fuel surcharge levels have a direct impact on both domestic and international flights. For domestic travel, Philippine airlines will be permitted to charge fuel surcharges ranging from PHP151 to PHP542. In the case of international flights, the surcharges will vary between PHP 498.03 and PHP 3,703.11. These adjustments represent a notable reduction from the current rates, providing a welcome relief for travelers.

Savings for UAE Expats

Expatriates from the UAE planning trips to Manila can benefit from these cost-saving measures. The lowered fuel surcharges mark the most affordable rates since August 2023, when the CAB maintained the surcharge levels at Level 4. This move aims to make air travel more accessible and affordable for passengers.

Industry Trends

The decision by the Civil Aeronautics Board follows recent industry trends, including a notable move by Indian airline Indigo. Indigo has chosen to eliminate fuel charges on all its domestic and international flights, effective January 4. This initiative offers relief to passengers who have been subject to the surcharge since its introduction in October 2023.

The revision in fuel surcharge levels aligns with efforts to make air travel more economical, encouraging increased passenger traffic and supporting the recovery of the aviation industry. It reflects a proactive response to the evolving landscape of air travel costs, providing a positive outlook for those planning flights with Philippine airlines in the coming month.
