Cathay Pacific flights from Hong Kong to charge fuel surcharge

A fuel surcharge of between US$19 and US$83 will be levied on Cathay Pacific and Cathay Dragon flights leaving Hong Kong from November 2, with this amount to be adjusted each month. The carrier is the first Hong Kong-based airline to announce its fuel surcharge rates, after the Civil Aviation Department (CAD) last week lifted a two-and-a-half-year ban on carriers adding an extra fee to tickets to recoup the rising cost of jet fuel. Hong Kong Airlines, one of two other airlines headquartered in the city, said it would consider several factors, including “market conditions and fuel price fluctuations” before deciding on levying a fuel surcharge.<br/>
