The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (Caap) has announced that AirAsia Philippines must resolve its outstanding debts by June 6, 2026. This decision comes after a cease and desist order was issued due to the airline's failure to pay P271.9 million in airport charges and other obligations. Caap has clarified that discussions with AirAsia about these financial issues have been ongoing since the previous year. The authority recognizes that any disruption in airline operations could lead to economic consequences, including job losses and interruptions in passenger and cargo services. However, Caap maintains that settling these debts is the most practical solution for both the agency and the airline. Importantly, Caap assures the public that airline services across all airports it operates remain unaffected and continue as scheduled, while emphasizing its commitment to ensuring compliance with financial obligations from airlines.
