Budget carrier Cebu Pacific is set to charge more for tickets to several key regional destinations to offset higher costs due to rising fuel prices.
Documents from the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) showed that Cebu Air Inc., operator of the Gokongwei-led carrier, wanted an increase in fuel surcharge for flights from Manila to Kansai International Airport-Japan's hub in Osaka.
From the current $45 per passenger, Cebu Air wants its fuel surcharge to Osaka to increase to $55.
The airline said it would impose a new surcharge for flights to Denpasar, which is Indonesia's gateway to popular tourist destination Bali. If approved, every passenger will have to pay a surcharge of $65 each for flights from Manila to Bali, and vice versa.
