The fuel surcharge will be increased. Many people have already bought plane tickets in advance, some have booked flights until December.

Tomb-sweeping holiday and May Day holiday are about to arrive one after another, many netizens have posted on social platforms that they rushed to buy plane tickets before the fuel surcharge increased, "buying as much as they can." Some even bought plane tickets for the whole year of 2026. On March 25th, Spring Airlines first announced that starting from April 5th, 2026, domestic fuel surcharges would be increased according to the order time. The specific adjustment plan is subject to further notice. As of now, airlines such as Air China, China Southern Airlines, and China Eastern Airlines have not yet announced price adjustment notices. However, it is generally expected in the industry that other airlines will follow suit. This time, Spring Airlines only clearly stated the adjustment time and did not disclose the specific adjustment range. It is speculated in the industry that the adjustment will follow the industry linkage mechanism, and will likely refer to the recent increase in aviation fuel costs. The adjustment of fuel surcharges is based on the order time. Orders that are ticketed before midnight on April 5th will still be charged at the current standard, even if the flight takes off on or after April 5th.
