The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) has ordered AirAsia Philippines to halt operations at all government-managed airports over P270 million in unpaid fees.

In a June 2 cease-and-desist order, CAAP director general Raul del Rosario directed AirAsia to stop operating within its jurisdiction within three days of receiving the notice.

Del Rosario cited the low-cost carrier’s “continued failure to pay outstanding obligations despite repeated collection efforts.”

CAAP records show AirAsia owes P271.94 million in air navigation, landing, parking, and passenger service charges accumulated from 2021 through May 2026. The figure excludes pending penalties and interest.
The order bars AirAsia from airport facilities unless authorized in writing by CAAP.


$6M since 2021, not great
