Qantas cuts fuel surcharge for second time in three months

Advertiser Staff

Qantas said is lowering its fuel surcharges on flights from Australia to Hawai'i because of recent declines in jet fuel prices.

The airline cut the one-way surcharge to $75 from $65, for bookings made beginning tomorrow. It is the second time Qantas cut its fuel surcharge in three months.

The reduction is part of a fuel surcharge cut on all Qantas international and domestic routes.

Even with fuel prices declining, Qantas' fuel bill will still be about $270 million more this year than in 2007, said John Borghetti, executive general manager of Qantas.
