Press release -

SilkAir to Increase Fuel Surcharges

SilkAir will increase its fuel surcharge for all tickets issued on and after 27 January 2011 for travel on its flights, as a result of the recent sharp and sustained escalation in the price of jet fuel. 

The price of jet fuel is now above USD110 per barrel.

The following surcharges will apply for tickets purchased for travel on SilkAir flights on and after 27 January 2011:

• Between Singapore and cities in South East Asia:
Business Class: to be increased from USD33 to USD37 per sector
Economy Class: to be increased from USD25 to USD28 per sector

• Between Singapore and all other SilkAir points:
Business Class: to be increased from USD91 to USD100 per sector
Economy Class: to be increased from USD80 to USD88 per sector

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

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

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