Airline Fuel Surcharges to Drop from July 7
==
REPORTER:
The Civil Aviation Administration announced that airline fuel surcharges will go down once again, as aviation fuel prices continue to drop.
Starting next week, the fuel surcharge will drop from $91 US dollars down to around $71 dollars for long-haul flights, and from $35 to about $27 dollars for short-haul flights.
These fees went up sharply in April, when oil prices rose during the war between the US and Iran. But they have been slowly falling since June. Taiwan’s aviation body has asked flight operators to disclose operating costs to help passengers understand the changes.

==
REPORTER:
The Civil Aviation Administration announced fuel surcharges will continue their decline, effective July 7, in line with a drop in aviation fuel price.
The passenger fuel surcharge is based and adjusted on international aviation fuel price, as announced by the CPC Corp. Starting next week, the fee will drop from $35 US dollars to about $27 for short-haul flights, and almost $71 for long-haul flights, down from $91.
While fees were originally raised in April due to oil price fluctuations from the Iran war, they have been slowly falling since June. The CAA has again asked flight operators to disclose operating costs to help passengers understand the changes.
