British Airways reduces fuel surcharge

British Airways will drop its fuel surcharge by as much as a third on longhaul services from Thursday, December 18. The move reflects the reduction in the price of oil and the airline's fuel hedging policy for 2009/10.

The reduction in fuel surcharge will mean:

- For World Traveller flights over nine hours a reduction of £30 per sector to £66. On flights of less than nine hours a reduction of £15 per sector to £53.

- For World Traveller Plus flights over nine hours a reduction of £30 per sector to £84.50. On flights of less than nine hours a reduction of £20 per sector to £63.

- For First and Club World flights over nine hours a reduction of £35 per sector to £98 and on shorter flights a reduction of £20 to £78.

The fuel surcharge on domestic and European services will also be reduced by £4 to £12 per sector. For Club Europe it will be reduced by £5 to £15 per sector.
