NextFin News -- Three Chinese airlines, namely Air China, Xiamen Airlines, and China United Airlines, announced that they would increase plane ticket prices due to soaring fuel surcharge.   Starting from tickets sold on or after April 5, 2026, the fuel surcharge for domestic routes will be adjusted as follows: for segments of 800 kilometers or less, the surcharge will be 60 RMB per passenger; for segments over 800 kilometers, the surcharge will be 120 RMB per passenger. Infants who are eligible for a 10% discount on standard adult fares in domestic civil aviation will be exempt from the fuel surcharge. For children (including unaccompanied minors) who purchase tickets at 50% of the standard adult fare, as well as for disabled revolution veterans and public servants injured in the line of duty, the fuel surcharge will be: 30 RMB per passenger for segments of 800 kilometers (inclusive) or less; and 60 RMB per passenger for segments over 800 kilometers. The effective date for the fuel surcharge is based on the original ticket issuance date. For domestic tickets sold before April 5, 2026, if there are changes made to travel dates on or after April 5, 2026, the already collected fuel surcharge will not be refunded or adjusted.
