BA raises fuel surcharge again
08/09/2005 - 10:14:11British Airways hiked its fuel surcharge on long-haul flights for the fifth time in little more than a year today.
The charge on longer journeys will increase from £24 (€36) per trip to £30 (€44), although BA left the short-haul surcharge of £8 (€12) unchanged.
The airline described the rise as “very regrettable” but pointed out its annual fuel bill of £1.6bn (€2.4bn) was now its largest cost after staff overheads.
