Singapore Airlines Increases Fuel Surcharge
Singapore Airlines Limited | May 03, 2007
As a result of a sustained escalation in the price of jet fuel in recent months, Singapore Airlines has increased its fuel surcharge for tickets issued on or after May 9, 2007. The new levels will be as follows:
- US$20 (up from US$18) per sector, for flights between Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, Bandar Seri Begawan, Bangkok, Denpasar, Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Jakarta, Manila and Penang;
- US$89 (up from US$82) per sector, for flights between Singapore and gateways in the United States and Canada on a single-sector basis; and
- US$58 (up from US$54) per sector, on all other flights.
The new surcharge is subject to official approval in some markets, and some local variations may apply where regulatory approvals dictate.
The adjustments will offer only partial relief of higher operating costs arising from recent increases in the price of jet fuel.
Singapore Airlines will continue to monitor the price of jet fuel and keep the application of the fuel surcharge under active review.
