Starting from September 1, two leading Hong Kong airlines, Hong Kong Dragon Airlines Ltd and Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd, will raise the fuel surcharge on their flights between Hong Kong and the Chinese mainland from $28.1 to $31.2, according to a report on netease.com Thursday.
EL AL Ltd, an Israel-based airline, is also expected to increase its fuel surcharge from Saturday, with the surcharge for flights between Hong Kong and Israel rising from $125 to $137. However, the airline's fuel surcharges for flights between the Chinese mainland and Israel will remain unchanged.
