BA implements further fuel surcharge increase

British Airways will increase its fuel surcharge on all tickets issued from Tuesday June 3, 2008. BA states that the decision reflects continuing high oil prices.

The changes will mean:

- The surcharge for short haul flights will increase by £3 per flight (£6 return) from £13 per flight (£26 return) to £16 per flight (£32 return)
- The surcharge for long haul flights of less than nine hours will increase by £15 per flight from £63 per flight (£126 return) to £78 per flight (£156 return)
- The surcharge for long haul flights of more than nine hours will increase by £30 per flight from £79 per flight (£158 return) to £109 per flight (£218 return)

British Airways will also increase its fuel surcharges by similar levels in markets outside the UK.
