Airline says higher passenger and cargo fuel surcharges will take effect on August 1, following brief period of declines
The airline said on Friday that the higher passenger and cargo fuel surcharges would take effect on August 1, following a brief period of declines after prices peaked in April.
“This is the first increase to passenger and cargo fuel surcharges since April, and levels remain below their peak in that month,” Cathay Pacific said.
According to the airline, fuel surcharges on flights between Hong Kong and the South Asian subcontinent will experience the steepest rise, jumping by 41.3 per cent from HK$448 (US$57) to HK$633.
