SilkAir to Increase Fuel Surcharges

Owing to the persistently high jet fuel prices, SilkAir will increase its fuel surcharges for all tickets issued on or after 08 March 2012 for travel on its flights.       

Jet fuel prices have been increasing and fuel now accounts for 40% of SIA Group expenditure.      

The new fuel surcharge levels shown below will apply to SilkAir flights. They represent an increase of between USD2 and USD11 per sector, depending on the distance and class of travel.

• Between Singapore and cities in South East Asia:
  Business Class: to be increased from USD47 to USD52 per sector
  Economy Class: to be increased from USD34 to USD36 per sector

• Between Singapore and all other SilkAir points:
  Business Class: to be increased from USD122 to USD133 per sector
  Economy Class: to be increased from USD106 to USD114 per sector

The application of fuel surcharges may be subject to regulatory approval or variation in some individual markets.  

The adjustments will only offer partial relief from the higher operating costs arising from increases in the jet fuel prices.      

Like its parent airline, SilkAir will continue to monitor the price of jet fuel and keep the application of the level of fuel surcharges under constant review.
