BA fuel surcharges rise further
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/7425631.stm
BA fuel surcharges rise further BA is passing on higher fuel costs to customers British Airways has said it will increase its fuel surcharges on all tickets issued from Tuesday 3 June as it looks to offset rising oil prices. The surcharge for short-haul flights will rise by £3 per flight to £16 per flight, or £32 for a return ticket. Long-haul flights of less than nine hours will increase by £15 per flight to £78 per flight. The surcharge for long-haul flights of more than nine hours will rise by £30 per flight to £109 per flight. BA added that it would also increase its fuel surcharges by similar levels in markets outside the UK. Earlier this month BA reported a 45% rise in profits to £883m for the year to 31 March. However, at the same time the airline warned that the current financial year would be tough because of the soaring cost of jet fuel. It said at the time that if oil remained at its then market price of $120 a barrel, then BA's total fuel costs would rise by about £1bn in the current financial year. The price of oil has since hit a record high of more than $135-a- barrel last week, and is currently trading around the $130-a-barrel mark. |
