Taipei, Oct. 1 -- Fuel surcharge for international flights operated by Taiwanese carriers will rise from October 7 due to a recent uptick in global aviation fuel prices, according to a news report by Focus Taiwan.

Citing the Civil Aviation Administration (CAA), the news report mentioned that the administrative decision establishes higher fees across both regional and intercontinental services. Under the updated framework, the fuel surcharge for short-haul journeys moves to USD 37.5 from the earlier USD 32.5 per passenger leg.

Passengers booking long-haul journeys face a parallel adjustment. For these services, the surcharge climbs to USD 97.5 from the previous rate of USD 84.5, representing a notable rise in baseline travel expenses.
