Dubai: British Airways has cut its fuel surcharge as much as by a third on longhaul services, the airline announced on Sunday.
The reduction in the fuel surcharge – the airline's second cut in two months - applies to all four British Airways cabins: World Traveller (economy), World Traveller Plus (premium economy), Club World (business) and First.
The move reflects the reduction in the price of oil and the airline's fuel hedging policy for 2009/10.
“The lowered fuel surcharges mean UAE customers will save between Dh 165 and Dh 450 on return trips to London and North America, depending on their cabin of choice,'' said Paul Starrs, British Airways' commercial manager, Middle East.
