KLM Cargo to withdraw war surcharge

KLM Cargo has decided to withdraw its war surcharge of € 0.10 per kilo of  actual weight, as of April 14, 2003. The surcharge was applied to Europe - Asia routes and Europe - Middle East routes.

On April 14, 2003 KLM will re-instate flights to a number of its Middle Eastern destinations suspended as a result of the situation in Iraq. These developments reduce the immediate inefficiencies which influenced KLM Cargo's operational costs and forced KLM Cargo to introduce the war surcharge.
