Cathay Pacific to Increase Fuel Surcharges on Long-Haul Flights

Cathay Pacific will raise fuel surcharges for the first time since April.

The surcharge for long-haul flights will go up by 41% to HK$1,362. It was previously HK$965. This change affects flights to places like North America, Europe, and Africa.

Flights to mainland China will see a surcharge increase to HK$198 from HK$165.

Surcharges for South Asia flights will rise to HK$633 from HK$448. Other routes will increase to HK$339 from HK$241.

A Cathay Pacific plane arrived at JFK Airport in New York. The airline is making changes to its fuel surcharges. It is also affecting cargo shipments.

The fuel surcharge for cargo is going up. For long-haul flights, it will be HK$10.10 per kg. For medium-haul, it will be HK$5.10 per kg. For short-haul, it will be HK$2.80 per kg. These changes are due to rising fuel costs.

The global jet fuel price has increased. It was $127.06 per barrel and is now $149.4 per barrel. This is a big jump in a short time. The airline is reacting to these changes.

Cathay Pacific will keep reviewing fuel surcharges every two weeks.

Cathay Pacific was named the world's second-best airline in 2026.

The airline's rankings and fuel surcharge changes are important for passengers and the airline industry.
