Virgin Blue raises airfares
Posted: Tue 15 Mar, 2011 11:53 AM
Virgin Blue has increased fuel surcharges by as much as US$100 for round trip international flights and US$10 for one-way domestic flights.
The rise is caused by higher jet fuel prices for the second increase in surcharges in less than a month. According to a report in eTurbo News, international short-haul fares for flights on Virgin Blue subsidiaries Pacific Blue and Polynesian Blue will increase up to US$20 for a one way ticket and domestic fares will rise by between US$6 and US$10 each way.
Qantas and Air New Zealand had raised their fuel surcharges last week due to the increase in jet fuel prices.
