The after-tax CIF price of China's imported jet fuel in October rose by 1.2% month on month, or 42 yuan per tonne to 3,540 yuan, according to statistics released by the oil price system of Xinhua News Agency on Thursday.

The CIF price of bonded jet fuel was 2,994 yuan per tonne, up 1.22% over a month earlier.

In spite of the appreciation of the yuan against the U.S. dollar in the past month, the fuel price was up slightly due to the rise of the monthly average price of the Brent crude oil and the aviation kerosene in the Asian market, said an economic analyst at Xinhua News Agency.
