Cathay to raise passenger fuel surcharges by up to 41% amid Middle East tensions
Cathay Pacific Airways will increase passenger fuel surcharges by up to 41% on most flights starting August 1, citing escalating tensions in the Middle East. The surcharge rise follows a brief period of declines after prices peaked in April and marks the first increase since that month, with current levels remaining below the April peak.
