大湾区航空于周五宣布，由于燃油成本飙升，将从3月18日起提高多项航线的燃油附加费。此举与香港竞争对手如国泰航空的类似调整一致，主要影响飞往香港的国际航班。
大湾区航空表示，由于燃油成本急剧上升，该公司将调整燃油附加费。具体而言，从所有目的地飞往香港的航班（除中国大陆、台湾、日本、马尔代夫和菲律宾外）的附加费将上涨106%，从18美元升至37美元，或从141港元升至290港元。该调整将于3月18日生效。
同时，从香港出发飞往所有目的地（除中国大陆和马尔代夫外）的航班附加费将增加104%，从142港元升至290港元。从香港飞往马尔代夫的附加费上涨90%，从284港元升至541港元；反向航班从马尔代夫飞香港则上涨92%，从36美元升至69美元。从台湾飞往香港的附加费涨幅较小，为22%，从18美元升至22美元。
这一决定反映了香港航空业面临的压力，其他本地航空公司如香港快运和香港航空也已宣布类似上调。来源提到，燃油价格上涨与中东紧张局势相关，但未提供进一步细节。航空公司强调，此举旨在应对全球能源市场波动，以维持运营可持续性。
