In response to the significant increase in aviation fuel prices fueled by ongoing tensions in the Middle East, Cathay Pacific announced earlier today (March 26) that passenger fuel surcharges will be adjusted starting Wednesday, April 1. Its subsidiary, HK Express, will also revise its fuel surcharges from the same date.
According to HK Express, fuel surcharges for overseas routes departing from HK will be increased to HK$389. For other flight segments, the surcharges will be determined based on the applicable departure location and local currency.
HK Express further stated that, to respond more flexibly to fluctuations in aviation fuel prices, it will review and adjust fuel surcharges every two weeks, reflecting increases or decreases in fuel prices in a timely manner.
The airline emphasized that this bi-weekly review process is a temporary measure that will be reassessed once the Middle East situation stabilizes.
