Third downward adjustment within the year

It is understood that after the reduction of fuel surcharges for flight tickets, the fuel surcharges for adult passengers on flights of 800 kilometers and below will be reduced from 30 yuan to 20 yuan, and the fuel surcharges for flights of 800 kilometers and above will be reduced from 60 yuan to 30 yuan. That is to say, the flight segments below 800 kilometers and above 800 kilometers have decreased by 33.33% and 50% respectively.

What is fuel surcharge? It is reported that aviation fuel surcharge is an additional fee charged by shipping companies to reflect changes in fuel prices. "There is a pricing formula for fuel surcharges, which is calculated based on international oil prices. International oil prices only start to charge when they reach 5000 yuan, and fuel surcharges will follow the rise and fall of international oil prices," said Lin Zhijie, a civil aviation industry insider, in an interview with China News Service.

This is the third price drop in 2023. It is reported that the fuel surcharge was previously lowered twice on January 5th and April 5th, and the current price has dropped by more than half compared to the beginning of the year.

After the reduction of fuel surcharges, airfare expenses will be cheaper. "It can be seen that the reduction in surcharges, especially for routes over 800 kilometers, has significantly reduced prices, which is still quite 'felt' for passengers. It is believed that it can to some extent stimulate passengers' travel during the Dragon Boat Festival holiday and summer vacation." Lin Zhijie analyzed.

"Air travel often has long distances and travel time, and passengers often travel on the first day or the day before a small or long holiday, resulting in relatively high ticket prices for these two days. However, the number of passengers on the second and third days of the holiday is relatively small," said a tourism platform staff member.

"The domestic flight volume in China has recovered to 120% of 2019, and the passenger volume has also recovered to over 100%. However, the recovery of the international market still requires a long process, and recently the international flight volume has just reached 40% of 2019."

On the evening of June 1st, the US Senate passed a bill on the federal government's debt ceiling and budget, and the flame of the US debt bomb was temporarily extinguished at the last moment. The two parties in the United States have staged an extreme tug of war over the US debt bomb. Some experts believe that the US debt crisis is the result of the reckless politics promoted by the US dollar hegemony, and the underlying cause of this crisis is the highly polarized political system of the US. Since the end of World War II, the US Congress has adjusted the debt ceiling more than a hundred times. The recurring debt crisis will not only have a catastrophic impact on the US economy and people's livelihoods, but also continuously erode the value of US dollar assets such as government credit and US bonds, bringing significant and far-reaching impacts to the global economic landscape. 【
