What is the Fuel Surcharge?

The fuel surcharge is an optional fee imposed by airlines to recover fuel costs and mitigate losses caused by sudden spikes in fuel prices. The Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) sets the level for this surcharge, which ranges from P117 to P342 for domestic flights and P385.70 to P2,867.82 for international flights.

The fuel surcharge can impact our travel plans, making it essential to stay informed about changes in this area. Additionally, as demand for air travel increases, so do fuel prices, which can affect the overall cost of flights.

What are the Levels of Fuel Surcharge?

The CAB has established four levels of fuel surcharge

Level 1 (P0.00 to P17.14 per kg) This level applies when jet fuel prices range from $45.44 to $63.33 per barrel.
Level 2 (P17.15 to P34.28 per kg) For jet fuel prices between $63.34 and $81.22 per barrel.
Level 3 (P34.29 to P51.42 per kg) When jet fuel prices range from $81.23 to $99.09 per barrel.
Level 4 (P51.43 to P68.56 per kg) For jet fuel prices above $99.10 per barrel.

How does the CAB Determine Fuel Surcharge Levels?

The CAB bases its determination on the average jet fuel price, which is monitored by the International Air Transport Association's Jet Fuel Price Monitor. As of February 13, 2026, the average jet fuel price stood at $93.88 per barrel, up by 4.3 percent from the same period last year.
