In view of the continuing high fuel prices, Singapore Airlines
(SIA) has said it is to raise its fuel surcharge for tickets issued from 15
November onwards.
The increase in surcharge will be as follows:
- From US$ 7 to US$ 10 per sector on flights between Singapore and the
following South East Asian cities: Bandar Seri Bagawan, Bangkok, Manila, Penang, Jakarta, Surabaya, Denpasar, Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi.
- From US$ 12 to US$ 22 per sector on all other flights.
These revisions are subject to official approval in some markets.
The surcharge levied on the Singapore - Kuala Lumpur service remains
unchanged at US$ 4 per sector.
The
airline commented that the revised surcharge will help defray, in part, the increase in costs
arising from record fuel prices. The price of jet fuel has risen 37 per
cent from when SIA first introduced a fuel surcharge in June.
A 1 US cent per American Gallon change in the jet fuel price translates to
a movement in cost of US$11.4 million per annum.
