Airline tickets in the Philippines are expected to become more expensive in the first half of October after the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) raised the fuel surcharge following a surge in global jet fuel prices. The CAB said in an advisory that the fuel surcharge for domestic and international flights will rise to Level 17 for the Oct. 1 to 15 period, from Level 14 in the Sept. 16 to 30 period. Under Level 17, the surcharge for domestic passenger flights will range from P559 to P1,635 per passenger, depending on distance. For international flights, it will range from P1,846.10 to P13,726.58. For cargo, airlines will be permitted to charge P2.87 to P8.40 per kilogram on domestic routes and P9.49 to P70.57 per kilogram on international flights.
