Cathay Pacific to cut passenger fuel surcharges by 17pc next week

Cathay Pacific will lower passenger fuel surcharges for both long-haul and short-haul flights from next Thursday, July 16, as jet fuel prices continue to fluctuate amid geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.

For flights between Hong Kong and the Southwest Pacific, North America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, the surcharge will be reduced from HK$1,164 to HK$965, representing a drop of about 17 percent.

For short-haul flights, the surcharge will be cut from HK$290 to HK$241, down around 16.9 percent.

The surcharge for flights between Hong Kong and the South Asian subcontinent will also decrease from HK$541 to HK$448.

However, fuel surcharges for flights from Hong Kong to the mainland will remain unchanged at HK$165.

The airline said it will continue to review passenger fuel surcharges every two weeks to respond more flexibly to changes in jet fuel prices.
