MANILA - The Bureau of Customs on Monday seized an 80-seater aircraft of Magnum Air Inc., operator of Skyjet Airlines, which it said was being used for commercial flights without paying taxes.
The aircraft, worth P583.6 million, was flagged by the district collector of Subic port when authorities could not find any record of import entry filed by the owner.
The bureau directed the company to pay around P90,000 for aircraft customs duties and taxes on top of penalties and charges.
Magnum Air appealed the seizure and the bureau set a hearing at its legal service office.
