Emirates introduce a varible fuel surcharge

28/02/2012 by Kevincm

It seems even the darling of the Middle Eastern airlines – Emirates –  is suffering with the current round of fuel prices and is to institute fuel surcharges on its flights

The airline will be introducing the surcharge for all tickets issued from 1st March 2012.

Of course, like any surcharge it’s comparatively confusing depending on you’re going and the class you’re in

  • From the UAE To Countries in the Gulf Cooperation Council,  the Middle East and South Asian Subcontinent: First/Business AED390, Econony AED60
  • From the UAE to Africa, Europe, the Far East and Australasia: First/Business AED500, Economy AED120
  • From the UAE to the Americas: First/Business AED610, Economy  AED170

Note, surcharges are priced per segment.

Emirates bemoans:

“Emirates has already incurred substantial costs by absorbing the recent price rises, but the surcharge gives us the ability to respond faster to market conditions, rather than a lengthier process of incorporating them into fare,”

“The changes will also give us the ability to decrease prices quickly, where appropriate. We will review the level of the surcharge on an ongoing basis.”

As we all know, surcharges are never welcome. Sadly… I’d expect more of them as fuel shoots up again.
