Cathay Pacific Airways will increase passenger and cargo fuel surcharges by up to 41 percent on most flights starting August 1. The Hong Kong-based carrier announced the adjustment on Friday, citing the impact of rising global jet fuel prices.

The decision follows a period of escalating tensions in the Middle East, which has contributed to volatility in fuel costs. By implementing these surcharges, the airline aims to offset the increased operational expenses associated with the current surge in fuel prices.
