Greater Bay Airlines

Greater Bay Airlines is a Hong Kong-based passenger carrier. It is currently newsworthy due to its recent decision to increase fuel surcharges, joining other Hong Kong airlines in this move. The surcharge increase, reportedly as high as 34% on some routes, is attributed to "surging fuel costs" stemming from the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. The new surcharges took effect in mid-March. This increase impacts passengers flying with Greater Bay Airlines, particularly those traveling to destinations outside of mainland China. The airline's actions are part of a broader trend among Hong Kong carriers responding to volatile fuel prices. Meanwhile, Hong Kong International Airport's Terminal 2 is set to fully open in May and will serve as the base for 15 airlines, primarily handling regional flights. This expansion is part of a larger project to increase the airport's capacity.
