MANILA, Philippines – Travelers flying within and out of the Philippines can expect further relief in airfare prices starting June 16 after the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) again lowered the fuel surcharge that airlines may impose to account for fluctuations in fuel prices.

In an advisory on Thursday, the CAB said that the fuel surcharge will be set to Level 12 until June 3, down from Level 13 in the first half of June and well below the record-high Level 19 imposed from April 16 to April 30.
