国内航线燃油附加费自8月5日起迎来新一轮调整[1]。根据新标准，800公里以上航线的燃油附加费降至70元/人，800公里以下航线调至40元/人[1]。此次调整是基于航空煤油价格与联动基准线的关系而做出的决策，当航空煤油价格超过基准线5000元/吨时，超出部分的80%将通过燃油附加费的方式进行转移[1]。
值得注意的是，国内燃油附加费与汽油价格虽然均与能源成本相关，但两者联动机制不同，因此呈现反向走势[1]。燃油附加费以航空煤油为基准，而汽油价格则与国际原油波动保持同步[1]。出行成本的降低进一步激发了暑期民航客流高峰。7月份，国内航线民航旅客量超过6000万人次，出入境航线民航旅客量也超过800万人次[1]。从近期预订数据看，8月8日和9日出发的机票量同比增长了62%，部分热门小城机票预订增幅甚至超过10倍[1]。
China's civil aviation authorities have lowered fuel surcharges on domestic routes effective August 5, with fares on flights exceeding 800 kilometers now charged at 70 yuan per passenger, while those of 800 kilometers or less drop to 40 yuan per passenger [1]. The adjustment reflects the inverse relationship between aviation fuel costs and domestic gasoline prices, which operate under different benchmark mechanisms—aviation kerosene prices serve as the basis for airline fuel surcharges, whereas gasoline tracks international crude oil movements [1].
The reduced travel costs have coincided with a surge in domestic air traffic. In July, domestic airline passenger volume exceeded 60 million, with international and cross-border routes carrying more than 8 million passengers [1]. Bookings for flights departing on August 8 and 9 showed a 62 percent year-on-year increase, and tickets to certain smaller popular destinations saw reservation surges exceeding tenfold [1]. The fuel surcharge mechanism ties 80 percent of costs exceeding the baseline of 5,000 yuan per ton of aviation kerosene to the surcharge structure [1].
