It is applicable only for the next two months and the carrier “would continue to consider it from April, subject to the stability of the world fuel prices,” Vivian Nguyen, public relations and marketing manager of Cathay Pacific Vietnam, told Thanh Nien Daily Wednesday.

The new surcharge is also applicable for Cathay Pacific’s short-haul flights to other destinations in Northeast and Southeast Asia.

For long-haul flights, the carrier has reduced the surcharge to HK$280 ($35.9) from HK$499, also effective until March 31.
