Taiwan’s airlines are raising fuel surcharges starting on Tuesday as the Iran war sends global energy prices soaring. For short-haul international flights, the surcharge is now US$45 each way, but the long-haul surcharge hits nearly US$120. That's a 157% increase, marking the highest fuel surcharges in 21 years.
