Cathay lowers passenger fuel surcharges, with long-haul fees down nearly $200

Cathay Pacific will reduce passenger fuel surcharges from July 1, with long-haul flights seeing a cut of nearly HK$200.

The adjustment came after the airline reviewed market volatility arising from the conflict in the Middle East.

Under the revised pricing structure, fuel surcharges for long-haul flights between Hong Kong and the Southwest Pacific, North America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa will be reduced from HK$1,362 to HK$1,164.

For flights to South Asia, the surcharge will fall from HK$633 to HK$541, while surcharges for other routes will be reduced from HK$339 to HK$290.

Fuel surcharges for flights between Hong Kong and the mainland will remain unchanged at HK$165.

The airline said it will continue to review fuel surcharges to reflect changes in fuel prices amid the situation in the Middle East.

It added that the biweekly review is a temporary measure, and that the arrangement will be revisited once the situation stabilizes.
