![An aircraft takes off from Incheon International Airport on April 13 ahead of the announcement regarding international fuel surcharges for the month of May. At least 31 out of the maximum 33 surcharge levels are expected to be imposed in May, with one-way surcharges on transpacific routes projected to reach around 500,000 won ($336).
