DHL Express introduced a new Jet Fuel Index effective August 3, 2026, replacing the surcharge table that had applied since April 1, 2026. Unlike most carrier fuel updates, the revised index lowers the effective surcharge percentage at prevailing fuel price bands for a range of express shipments. The change lands in the same week that Asian passenger carriers were pushing cargo fuel surcharges sharply higher, illustrating how integrator index mechanics can decouple from spot jet fuel moves in the short term.
