BANGKOK, Thailand: Thai Airways International announced Saturday it will increase its fuel surcharge on some international flights by US$10 (7.25), due in part on the rising cost of jet fuel worldwide.
Wallop Bhukkanasut, the airline's executive vice president for commercial affairs, said in a statement that the new rates would apply starting Sunday.
The surcharge on routes between Bangkok and Auckland, New Zealand, would rise to US$60(43) from US$50(36). On routes between Bangkok and New York and Los Angeles, it would increase to US$50 (36) from US$40 (29) .
With oil prices as high as US$74 (53) a barrel, airlines worldwide have been raising their fuel surcharges.
The Czech state-run airline CSA said Friday it increased its fuel surcharge for long- and short-haul flights by as much as US$23 (16.68).
May, Singapore Airlines announced a fuel surcharge increase for the second time this year.
The biggest surcharge hike was slapped on flights between Singapore and the United States and Canada, the airline said. The surcharge will rise to US$89 (64) on a one-way flight, up from US$82 (59).
The surcharge will also increase by US$2 (1.45) on flights between Singapore and several Southeast Asian destinations, including Bangkok and Jakarta.
