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.

Perhaps they should pass them on to non-customers..?
