Singapore Airlines to further increase fuel surcharge on tickets

-

SINGAPORE (AP) - Singapore Airlines will increase its fuel surcharge for tickets to alleviate rising jet fuel costs, the carrier said.

The charges apply to tickets issued on or after Aug. 2, Singapore Airlines said in a statement Thursday.

The fuel surcharge will rise to US$98 from US$89 for flights between Singapore and the United States and Canada, the airline said.

On flights between the city-state and the Asian cities of Kuala Lumpur and Penang, Malaysia; Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei; Bangkok, Thailand; Jakarta and Denpasar, Indonesia; Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam; and Manila, the Philippines, will increase from US$20 to US$22, it said.

The surcharge on all other flights will rise from US$58 to US$63, the company said.

The new surcharge is subject to official review in some markets, and some local variations may apply where regulatory approvals dictate, the statement said.

The adjustments will only partially relieve the burden of higher operating costs resulting from recent rises in the price of jet fuel, it said.
