China Eastern Airlines 600115.SS said on Friday it will raise fuel surcharges for domestic flights from April 5, adding to a list of Chinese airlines hiking fuel fees as the Iran war drags on.

The carrier will increase fuel surcharges for flights of 800 km (497 miles) and below to 60 yuan ($8.72) and 120 yuan for those over 800 km, it said on its website.
