AIR FRANCE AND KLM INCREASE FUEL SURCHARGES

 


As a result of the rise in oil prices, Air France and KLM are increasing their fuel surcharges as follows:

- Air France: 2 euros per segment on short and medium-haul flights and 10 euros per segment on long-haul flights.

- KLM: 2 euros per segment on medium-haul flights and 10 euros per segment on long haul flights.

These increases will apply to tickets departing from France and the Netherlands issued by KLM as of 12th November 2007, and by Air France as of 15th November.

Half of these increases will be withdrawn as soon as the oil prices stabilizes at a level below $85/bbl for a durable period. The remainder of these increases will be withdrawn once the oil price stabilizes below $80/bbl.
