THE CIVIL Aeronautics Board (CAB) will keep fuel surcharge at Level 4 for the seventh consecutive month in February.
At this level, the fuel surcharge ranges from P117 to P342 for domestic flights, and from P385.70 to P2,867.82 for international flights, depending on the distance.
Fuel surcharge is the extra fee that airlines may collect in addition to the base fare to cover the costs incurred from volatility of fuel.
In an advisory dated January 19, 2026, CAB Executive Director Carmelo Arcilla said airlines wishing to impose or collect fuel surcharge must file their application with his office on or before the effectivity period.
The applicable conversion rate is USD1 is to P58.94.
CAB has been implementing Level 4 fuel surcharge since August.
The surcharge rate is based on the one-month average jet fuel price (Mean of Platts Singapore) in pesos per liter, which sets the maximum allowable rate. (PNA)
