AIRFARES may fly anew come next month, according to the Civil Aeronautics Board. This was after they approved higher fuel surcharges. In a statement, the CAB said that they allowed the adjustment to the surcharge to Level 7 in November from 6 just this October. According to low-cost carrier AirAsia, it would mean an increase of P219 to P689 for domestic flights and P772.71 to P1,124.26 for international flights. From June to August, the fuel surcharges were at Level 4. The CAB has 20 levels in their fuel surcharge matrix. AirAsia issued an advisory to their customers to book early so as to mitigate the effects of higher fuel surcharges. “AirAsia guests can also seek further relief from the anticipated adjustments in ticket prices brought about by the volatility of global fuel prices by advance booking, especially for future travels as travel and vacation time peak in the remaining months of Q4 for many Filipinos," Public Affairs Head, First Officer Steve Dailisan said.
