Qantas plans to further hike fares and increase international fuel surcharges to offset rises in oil and jet fuel prices.
Domestic, regional and Tasman fares will also increase by 5% and a fuel surcharge will be added to domestic and Tasman Qantas frequent flyer classic award redemption seats.
Qantas increased domestic airfares and international fuel surcharges in February and March this year in response to rising fuel prices.
In a statement, the airline said the revised fuel surcharges covered less than half of the increase in fuel cost for the Qantas International business for next year.
The changes will apply to tickets issued on or after Thursday, April 28.
