China Southern Airlines has increased the freight fuel price to 300 yuan ($43.8) per ton, 50 percent up from the previous 200 yuan (US$29.2) per ton.

Experts said the raise was mainly due to the recent spike of the global crude oil price, which reached $75 a barrel -- a 10-month high -- in trading on Tuesday.

They predict that the freight fuel price hike will help ease the cost of airlines, but will have a big impact on air logistics companies.
