Beijing,China -- Chinese airlines Wednesday increased fuel surcharges on their domestic routes, due to rising aviation fuel costs.
Fuel surcharges for routes shorter than 800 km rose from 50 yuan ($7.94) to 70 yuan, while surcharges for routes exceeding 800 km increased from 100 yuan to 130 yuan.
The hike in costs came after airline companies raised fuel surcharges for their international routes on Saturday, the first increase since June.
Rising global aviation fuel prices were the major reason behind the increases, analysts said. The country's domestic jet fuel prices have risen by more than 700 yuan per tonne since Saturday, data showed.
