China’s largest courier SF Express also said on Friday that it would, beginning in April, adjust its fuel surcharge rates from a monthly to a weekly basis because of the “continuous and frequent fluctuations” of international oil prices.
Joining other local airlines that have already made the same move, Greater Bay Airlines said on Friday that it would raise its fuel surcharges from next month because of the impact of fluctuating fuel prices on flight operating costs.
Under the adjustment, the fuel surcharge for flights between Hong Kong and mainland China will remain at HK$165 per trip.
But the surcharge for Maldives-bound flights will rise by 34 per cent to HK$725, while that for other non-mainland destinations will increase by a similar percentage to HK$389.
