Fuel Surcharge- Lufthansa11 Mar 2008 09:55
Ryanair, Europe's largest low fares airline today (Tuesday, 11th March 2008)
predicted that Europe's high fare airlines will begin another round of
unjustified fuel surcharge increases following Lufthansa's decision yesterday to
increase its short haul fuel surcharges by 21%. Lufthansa now charges passengers
€17 per short haul flight and €77 on long haul flights despite the fact it is
hedged at well below current market rates for oil. Ryanair is the only airline
in Europe to guarantee passengers no fuel surcharges ever.
