Regulator Issues Final Warning Over Unpaid Aviation Fees

The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) has issued a final demand letter to AirAsia Philippines for PHP 833.7 million ($14.5 million) in unpaid fees, with the airline facing potential license suspensions and restricted airport access if it fails to settle within five days. The outstanding amount covers unpaid air navigation, landing, and parking fees, as well as unremitted domestic passenger service charges. AirAsia Philippines is navigating a challenging environment with soaring jet fuel costs, but has continued to expand its international network with new routes to Vietnam. The situation was first reported by AeroTime.
