Higher fuel surcharges also at Lufthansa Group

For all long-distance flights of Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines, Lufthansa and SWISS, the fuel surcharge  (at SWISS: “International Surcharge“) in the service classes “First and Business” were increased on a uniform basis by € 50 per route section. Surcharges in the Economy Class remain unchanged. The increase is due to rising space requirements as well as to a higher weight per seat in the First & Business Class. Also other airlines – such as Air Canada – must take measures of this kind.
