SINGAPORE – There’s more pain for airline passengers this week.
After Qantas and Virgin Blue in Australia raised their fares, British Airways is increasing its fuel surcharge on all tickets issued from tomorrow, May 2.
BA said the decision reflects continuing high oil prices.
The changes will mean:
• The surcharge for long haul flights of less than nine hours will increase by £10 per flight (£20 return) from £53 to £63 per flight (£126).
• The surcharge for long haul flights of more than nine hours will increase by £15 per flight (£30 return) from £64 to £79 per flight (£158 return).
British Airways will also increase its fuel surcharges by similar levels in markets outside the UK.
