S. Korean budget airlines cut flights on high fuel costs

South Korea's low-cost carriers (LCCs) are cutting international flights to mitigate the impact of surging fuel costs amid prolonged tensions in the Middle East.Aviation industry sources reported Thursday that some companies plan to suspend 50 flights between April 20 and May 31, citing limited local refueling conditions in Vietnam.The country's three largest LCCs are also considering cutting services on select Southeast Asian routes, according to industry watchers.Jet fuel prices in Asia and Oceania rose 16.6% to $204.95 per barrel in the week of March 13-20, compared with the previous week, and were sharply higher than the prior month's average, according to the International Air Transport Association (IATA).

S. Korea to expand fuel tax cuts

S. Korea to expand fuel tax cuts

The Ministry of Finance and Economy of South Korea announced on Thursday that South Korea will significantly expand its temporary fuel tax cut in a bid to ease the financial burden on consumers amid the prolonged conflict in West Asia.Under the latest measures, the tax reduction rate on gasoline will rise from 7 percent to 15 percent, and on diesel from 10 percent to 25 percent, as part of the government's efforts to support living costs.The measure, which had been set to expire in April, will be extended through the end of May, according to the ministry.As a result, fuel taxes per liter, including value-added tax, will fall by KRW 65 (USD 0.04) to KRW 698 for gasoline and by KRW 87 to KRW 436 for diesel.The decision is aimed at easing the burden of rising oil prices and supporting small and midsize businesses, as well as vulnerable households affected by the prolonged conflict.South Korea first introduced the fuel tax cut in November 2021 as a response to rising energy prices. The government has since extended the measure, adjusting the rates in accordance with changes in the global energy market.
