Taiwan Airlines to raise fuel surcharges amid soaring oil prices
New Delhi [India] July 4 (ANI): Taiwan's three major airlines, China Airlines, EVA Air, and Starlux Airlines, announced on Friday that they will increase fuel surcharges on all international flights starting July 7, citing rising global oil prices, as reported by Focus Taiwan. The move follows a jump in aviation fuel prices, which averaged USD 92.99 per barrel in July, according to state-run CPC Corp, Taiwan, the news platform added. In response, the airlines will hike fuel surcharges from USD 15 to USD 17.50 for short-haul routes and from USD 39 to USD 45.50 for long-haul journeys. The additional fuel costs per passenger vary by airline. China Airlines will charge USD 41.29 for short-haul flights and USD 191.49 for long-haul routes, according to the report. EVA Air will apply a surcharge of USD 41.92 for short-haul and USD 250.48 for long-haul passengers. Starlux Airlines passengers will pay USD 19.46 for short-haul and USD 98.46 for long-haul flights. Fuel surcharges for Taiwanese international carriers are reviewed and adjusted monthly based on aviation fuel prices released by CPC Corp., Taiwan, and reported to the Civil Aeronautics Administration (CAA). The surcharge mechanism, introduced in 2004, enables airlines to offset volatile fuel costs by passing some of the burden onto passengers. As fuel prices climb, the latest adjustments reflect continued pressure on airline operating costs and could make international travel slightly more expensive for passengers, the news report added.

Taiwan's China Airlines to expand fleet with up to 13 Airbus jets
TAIPEI: Taiwan's China Airlines plans to acquire up to 13 new aircraft from aviation giant Airbus in a move to expand its fleet, the company said Wednesday. The airline's board have agreed to buy or lease eight Airbus A321neo and five Airbus A350-900 aircraft, according to two company announcements. China Airlines said the five A350-900s – used for long-haul flights – could be leased for a total of US$1.148 billion or bought for up to US$1.965 billion. The investment is aimed at supporting the airline's "long-term operational development and enhancing the flexibility and competitiveness in its global presence", it said. The eight short- to medium-haul A321s will help to meet "operational needs", it added. Five of them – valued at US$240 million – will be leased from the Air Lease Corporation for 10 to nearly 12 years. The remaining three A321s are still being negotiated. The airline also ordered 14 Boeing aircraft in May, with the option to buy another nine planes, after China backed out of a deal to buy Boeing planes due to US tariffs on Chinese products.
