Cathay Pacific to cut fuel surcharges again as costs ease

Cathay Pacific is reducing fuel surcharges on most of its passenger flights for the second time in under two months, effective July 1. This adjustment comes as fuel costs have decreased from their previous highs. The surcharges for flights to North America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and the Southwest Pacific will see a 14.5% reduction, while routes to South and Southeast Asia will also experience a similar percentage decrease. Surcharges for flights to and from mainland China will remain unchanged. AI
