The Civil Aviation Department of Hong Kong on Thursday gave the approval for passenger fuel surcharges levied by three airlines to be reduced in July.

They included All-Nippon Airways, Cathay Pacific and Singapore Airlines.

The new maximum surcharges will be 237 HK dollars for short- haul flights and 1,043 HK dollars for long-haul flights, representing reductions of 6 percent and 10 percent from the current maximum levels for short- and long-haul flights respectively.

Passenger fuel surcharges seek to allow airlines to partially recover the increase in operational costs due to fluctuations in aviation fuel prices. ($1 equals 7.76 HK dollars)
