Air France-KLM may have to raise its fuel surcharge again to take into account rising oil prices, a senior executive of the European airline told Les Echos in an interview published on Wednesday.
“Our last fuel surcharge was based on an oil price of USD$90 a barrel. So we might be forced to raise it,” Chief Operating Officer Pierre-Henri Gourgeon told Les Echos.
Gourgeon also said that the weak US dollar was overall “good” for the airline and that Air-France KLM’s business remained “solid” despite the global credit crisis.
