Who is responsible for the issuance of the Certificate of Public Convenience?

The issuance of the Certificate of Public Convenience is the responsibility of the Civil Aeronautics Board. This certificate is essential for any entity seeking to provide public transportation services, as it ensures that the services meet necessary safety, reliability, and regulatory standards.

The Civil Aeronautics Board evaluates various criteria such as the capacity to provide service, the need for the service in the community, and the financial feasibility of the operation before granting this certificate. This regulatory role is pivotal in managing the aviation sector and ensuring that the interests of the public are protected, enabling safe and reliable air transportation services.

Alternatively, while other organizations such as the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines, the Department of Transportation and Communication, and the Philippine Aerospace Development Corporation have important roles in aviation regulation and development, it is specifically the Civil Aeronautics Board that handles the certification related to public convenience for air transport services.
