Due to the increase of the price of jet fuel as a result of the ongoing situation in the Middle East, Cathay Pacific is doubling the fuel surcharge on all tickets sold through its direct channels.
“The price of jet fuel has approximately doubled since March amid the latest developments in the Middle East. As such, Cathay Pacific announces today that it will be adjusting the fuel surcharge effective 18 March 2026.”
The fuel surcharge on short-haul flights will be increased from HKD $142 (~USD $18) to HKD $290 (~USD $37), medium-haul flights from HKD $264 (~USD $34) to HKD $541 (~USD $69), and long-haul flights from HKD $569 (~USD $72.70) to HKD $1,164 (~USD $149).
“The fuel surcharge is reviewed regularly and closely tracks the price of refined jet fuel.”
Cathay Pacific's move to increase fuel surcharges on its operated flights does not cover codeshare ferry/coach services to/from Hong Kong, journeys originating from Bangladesh and tickets purchased in Bangladesh, and Cathay Pacific marketed flights within Japan are exempted regardless of the point of sale and point of commencement.
Codeshare flights are also subject to respective fuel surcharges.
