Thread: Thai Airways to increase fuel surcharge from today

BANGKOK: -- Thai Airways International (THAI) announced on Friday that it will apply new rates of higher fuel surcharge effective 15 July in line with global fuel prices.

Wallop Bhukkanasut, THAI Executive Vice President for Commercial Affairs said the new rate will be applied to all routes operated by the national flag carrier. This will reflect in tickets issued by local and international ticketing agencies worldwide.

The new rates for certain new routes will be, for example an extra 10 US dollar levy for the flights between Bangkok and Auckland, Bangkok and New York and Los Angeles.

Seems strange that oli is traded in $$$ and the Thai baht has increased in value against the $$$, which should make it cheaper for Thailand to import oil and thus leading to a reduction in price.
