The Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) has kept the airline fuel surcharge at Level 4 for a third consecutive month in October 2025.
The surcharge for both domestic and international passenger and cargo flights will remain at Level 4 from Oct. 1 to Oct. 31, the CAB said in an advisory.
Under Level 4, the fuel surcharge for domestic flights ranges from P117 to P342, depending on the distance, while for international flights it may range from P385.70 to P2,867.82.
For cargo, airlines can charge P0.60 to P1.76 per kilogram for domestic flights and P1.98 to P14.74 per kg for international flights.
Airlines imposing a fuel surcharge should file an application with the CAB before the effective period, with rates not exceeding the stated levels, the CAB said.
The airline fuel surcharge is an optional fee to help airlines recover costs from increases in fuel prices.
According to the International Air Transport Association’s (IATA) Jet Fuel Price Monitor, average jet fuel prices were $90.81 per barrel as of Sept. 19, 2025, down 8.3 percent from the same period last year.
