Singapore Airlines has lifted its fuel surcharge for tickets issued from today, December 2.
The airline blamed the hike on “a sustained escalation in the price of jet fuel in recent monthsâ€.
The price of jet fuel is now above USD95 per barrel, the airline said.
The increase in the fuel surcharge is the first since June 2008. The last three revisions were to reduce fuel surcharges, in September 2008, November 2008 and February 2009.
The new levels represent an increase of between USD3 and USD25 per sector, depending on the distance and class of travel.
