| China Raises Fuel Surcharge on Domestic Air Routes[2008.07.07] | |
| Chinese airlines, currently suffering a sluggish aviation market, said the increase in jet fuel surcharges, effective as of July 1, was not expected to bring much benefit for them. From July 1, passengers who buy tickets on domestic flights will have to pay extra fuel charges after the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) approved increased jet fuel surcharges amid rising world oil prices. However, it is reported that there is not sufficient air traffic demand now. Despite the rise in fuel surcharges, Chinese airlines will have to make more discounts in order to compete for passengers. |
