Multiple domestic airlines in China have raised the fuel surcharge: fluctuating oil prices have become a definite pressure, leading to an increase in ticket prices.

Recently, many domestic airlines in China have been raising their international fuel surcharges, with increases generally over 50% and some even doubling. Against the backdrop of rapidly rising international oil prices, airlines are facing increased cost pressures which are being passed on to ticket prices. According to market reports, China Southern Airlines has also recently issued a notice to its agents, planning to adjust international fuel surcharges. As for domestic flights, the next round of fuel surcharge adjustments will be on April 5. Currently, the standard implemented is from January 5: 10 RMB for flights under 800 kilometers, and 20 RMB for flights over 800 kilometers. It is widely expected in the industry that as oil prices continue to rise, more airlines will follow suit in raising prices, leading to a further increase in travel costs for passengers.
