News: BA increase fuel surcharge
Flights > News > # 1256 (30/04/2007)
British Airways is increasing its long-haul fuel surcharge on May 2 (Wednesday) because of a surge in the price of oil.
The fuel surcharge on long-haul flights of less than nine hours will rise from £30 per sector (£60 return) to £33 (£66 return) and from £35 per sector to £38 (£76 return) on flights longer than nine hours.
The short-haul fuel surcharge remains unchanged at £8 per sector (£16 return).
Robert Boyle, British Airways’ commercial director, said: “The cost of fuel has risen significantly in recent weeks. Unfortunately, we have little choice but to pass on some of this extra cost to our customers.
“The price of oil continues to be extremely volatile. Therefore, we believe the fuel surcharge continues to be the most transparent way for our customers to understand what they are paying and allows us to adjust the direct cost to our customers appropriately.”
