Aviation passenger fuel surcharges
**********************************

     The Civil Aviation Department (CAD) today (December 23) announced the passenger fuel surcharges for the period from January 1 to 31, 2015.

     The maximum levels of fuel surcharges will be $129 for short-haul flights and $566 for long-haul flights, which represent respective decreases of about 10 per cent from the current maximum levels for both short and long-haul flights. The applicable surcharge levels are based on the ticket issue date. The approved fuel surcharge levels of individual airlines have been published on the CAD's website (www.cad.gov.hk/english/fuel_surcharge.htm).

     Passenger fuel surcharges seek to allow airlines to partially recover the increase in operational costs due to fluctuations in aviation fuel prices. As the aeronautical authority in Hong Kong, the CAD considers and approves fuel surcharge applications from the airlines in accordance with bilateral Air Services Agreements.

     Passenger fuel surcharges are reviewed by the CAD on a monthly basis. In last month's review, the maximum surcharge levels for short-haul and long-haul flights announced by the CAD were $143 and $628 respectively.
