Following the "Ice Cream Assassin", the "Air Ticket Assassin" appeared!

"Why did the fuel cost for the machine construction reach 250 yuan? Buying more than 500 air tickets, and clicking in to more than 800, is simply a 'plane ticket assassin '."

"I dodged the' ice cream assassin' this summer, but now I am facing the' air ticket assassin'. A trip to build fuel costs 250 yuan, leaving!"

Recently, many people were "persuaded" by the high cost of fuel for aircraft construction when booking air tickets, and called them "air ticket assassins".

Air ticket fuel surcharge hits record high

In fact, the airport construction fee in 50 yuan has not changed. What has increased is the fuel surcharge.

Starting from 0:00 on July 5, 2022, the fuel surcharge charging standard will be raised again. The adult ticket charging policy is RMB 100 per passenger on routes below 800 kilometers (inclusive); RMB 200 per passenger on routes above 800 kilometers.

This is the fifth price increase since the fuel surcharge resumed in February 2022. So far, the fuel surcharge standard for domestic routes has reached an all-time high.

Air ticket fuel surcharge hit a record high# recently also on the hot search, many people found that in just a few months, the fuel surcharge from the beginning of 10 yuan, 20 yuan soared to 100 yuan, 200 yuan.

Some routes cost more fuel than tickets.

After the fuel surcharge is increased, if the airport construction fee is added, the airport construction fee plus the fuel surcharge will reach 150 yuan for routes below 800 kilometers, and the airport construction fee plus the fuel surcharge will reach 250 yuan for routes above 800 kilometers.

China New Finance noted that at present, the fuel cost of some domestic air tickets is close to the fare, and there is even a phenomenon that the fuel cost of machine construction is more expensive than air tickets.

For example, from Guangzhou to Guilin on July 12, the adult fare is 99 yuan, and the fuel cost for machine construction is 150 yuan.

From Qingdao to Xi 'an on July 12, the adult ticket for some flights was 240 yuan, while the fuel cost for the aircraft construction was 250 yuan.

Why does the fuel surcharge keep rising?

According to regulations, when the comprehensive procurement cost of domestic aviation kerosene exceeds 5000 yuan per ton, air transport enterprises can charge fuel surcharges in accordance with the provisions of the linkage mechanism.

On January 5, 2022, the fuel surcharge was canceled on domestic routes. However, as oil prices continued to rise, fuel surcharges resumed on February 5. Since then, fuel surcharges have risen once a month until they reached high levels of 100 and 200 yuan in July.

The continued increase in aviation fuel prices has pushed up fuel surcharges. According to Zhuo Chuang's data, the ex-factory price of PetroChina's aviation kerosene has continued to rise since February 2022. In February, the ex-factory price of aviation kerosene (standard products) supplied by CNPC's refining and chemical branches and the oil units allocated by CNPC for resource allocation was 5374 yuan/ton, which was raised to 9745 yuan/ton in July.

Rising fuel surcharges could ease cost pressures on airlines. According to media reports, Xu Liang, director of the office of the board of directors and securities affairs representative of Spring Airlines, said in a recent answer to investors' questions that oil prices are currently at a relatively high level in history, second only to the high in 2008, and there is the possibility of a new high afterwards. However, the domestic passenger fuel surcharge collection policy has a relatively good hedging effect.

Or push more passengers to high-speed rail

Industry insiders expect that the first ten days of July, the first ten days of August and the second ten days of August will be the peak of civil aviation booking. Summer air tickets themselves are rising, and the overall cost of air tickets is even higher, coupled with the cost of fuel for machine construction.

The highest fuel surcharge in history may push more passengers to high-speed rail. Some netizens switched to high-speed rail because the fuel surcharge was too expensive. "After looking at the air ticket, it costs 250 yuan to build fuel for the aircraft, so I immediately chose the high-speed rail." "Now it costs 250 yuan to build fuel for the aircraft back to Beijing from Shanghai? I took the high-speed rail."

Cheng Chaogong, chief researcher of Tongcheng Research Institute, believes that the current fuel cost has reached a record high, and the continued increase will weaken the competitiveness of civil aviation relative to high-speed rail to a certain extent, especially the competition between routes within 800 kilometers and high-speed rail will be more prominent. This is also an issue that the airline should consider.

Cheng Chaogong said that the increase in fuel surcharges has different impacts on different customer groups, and has little impact on the price-insensitive business travelers. It will have a certain impact on the travel decisions of visiting relatives and tourist groups, especially for short-and medium-distance travel. May choose more high-speed rail travel.
