Thai Airways passengers on international flights will now have to pay more in fuel surcharges as the carrier raised prices on Monday.
THAI’s non-stop Bangkok-Los Angeles flight took the highest fuel surcharge increase of US$20.50, whilst European services rose by US$10 to US$86.50 and rates for Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane services grew US$10 to US$64.50.
Regional route charges also increased US$6 a sector, the Bangkok-Hong Kong and Bangkok- Singapore services hiking up from US$24.50 to US$30.50
The carrier blamed the higher fuel prices and said the move was also to keep the rates in line with competing carriers on specific routes.
However, Bangkok Post reported that the increase may not be the best move considering oil prices have begun to weaken with West Texas Intermediate crude oil prices declining from $70 a barrel on June 12 to $63.56 a barrel at the end of last week.
It is also speculated that it may not help THAI in boosting ticket sales which have been suffering due to the impact of the economic slowdown and swine flu.
