Chinese mainland airline companies will raise the fuel surcharge fee on international routes, due to the high oil price, according to sources from the General Administration of Civil Aviation of China (CAAC).
Each passenger should pay US$25 instead of the original US$12 from the mainland to Asian nations. Passengers who travel from the mainland to Europe, America, Oceania and the Middle East should pay US$40 instead of the original US$20.
Since October 20, Air China, China Southern and China Eastern have raised the fuel surcharge fee on their international routes.
In July CAAC allowed airline companies to charge for fuel price on domestic routes.
Since this October, France airlines also raised the fuel surcharge.
