British Airways to increase Fuel Surcharge

British Airways is to increase its fuel surcharge on all flights from Monday, March 28 as a result of the continuing record oil prices.

The longhaul fuel surcharge will increase from £10 per sector to £16 per sector (£32 return trip). The shorthaul fuel surcharge will increase from £4 per sector to £6 (£12 a return trip).

Martin George, British Airways’ commercial director, said, “Our fuel bill next year is expected to be an extra £300 million. With prices continuing to rise, a surcharge increase is regrettably unavoidable.”

The additional fuel surcharge only applies to tickets issued from March 28, 2005.
