SIA, SilkAir to increase fuel surcharge

SIA, SilkAir to increase fuel surcharge

SINGAPORE: Flying on Singapore Airlines (SIA) and SilkAir will get more expensive.

The carriers are increasing their fuel surcharge for tickets issued from December 2.

The surcharge will represent an increase in price of between US$3 and US$25 per sector, depending on the distance and class of travel.

SIA said this was a result of a sustained escalation in the price of jet fuel in recent months.

The price of jet fuel is now above US$95 per barrel.

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.

SIA said the adjustments will offer only partial relief from the higher operating costs arising from increases in the price of jet fuel.

It said it will continue to closely monitor the price of fuel and keep surcharges under constant review.

Welcome to the world of higher oil prices.

Lots of "experts" saying that the price of oil is going to stay at this level or higher due to the economic recovery and demand for oil ever increasing.

SIA, Silkair up fuel surcharges
05:55 AM Jan 22, 2011Singapore Airlines (SIA) and its wholly-owned subsidiary SilkAir announced on Friday increases to their fuel surcharges for tickets issued on or after Jan 27 this year.

The hikes come barely a month after the two airlines last raised the surcharges.

Citing the "sharp and sustained escalation" in the price of jet fuel, SIA said in a statement that the "adjustments will offer only partial relief from the higher operating costs".

According to SIA, the price of jet fuel has reached more than US$110 per barrel.

The latest round of hikes would mean an increase in fuel surcharge of between US$3 ($3.85) and US$27 ($34.70) per sector, depending on the distance and class of travel.

SIA noted that the application of fuel surcharges may be subject to regulatory approval or variation in some individual markets.

It added it will continue to monitor the price of jet fuel and keep the application of the level of fuel surcharge under active review.

Another One

Singapore Airlines (SIA) Wednesday said it was hiking fuel surcharges for the second time this year due to skyrocketing jet fuel costs.

The surcharge increases of "between $2 and $26" depending on distance and class of travel, will be levied from next Thursday on SIA flights as well as regional wing SilkAir's, the airline said in a press statement.

"Singapore Airlines will increase its fuel surcharge for tickets issued on or after 17 March 2011, as a result of the continued escalation in the price of jet fuel," it stated.
