The Philippines has ordered AirAsia’s digital platform to stop selling airline tickets in the country following complaints it charged illegally high fares.

The authorities have asked the police to take down AirAsia MOVE’s website as part of a cease-and-desist order by the Civil Aeronautics Board, Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon said at a press conference on Monday.

The aviation agency, which sets price ceilings for airfares in the country, says the company hiked its prices following transportation troubles in Tacloban City due to the closure of a key bridge to trucks.
