Singapore Air regional wing to increase fuel surcharges

Due to continued escalation in the price of jet fuel, SilkAir will increase its fuel surcharge for all tickets issued on or after 17 March 2011.

According to SilkAir, the surcharges represent an increase of between USD2 and USD10 per sector, depending on the distance and class of travel.

• Between Singapore and cities in South East Asia:

Business Class: to be increased from USD37 to USD41 per sector
Economy Class: to be increased from USD28 to USD30 per sector

• Between Singapore and all other SilkAir points:

Business Class: to be increased from USD100 to USD110 per sector
Economy Class: to be increased from USD88 to USD96 per sector

The application of fuel surcharges may be subject to regulatory approval or variation in some individual markets.

The adjustments will offer only partial relief of higher operating costs arising from increases in the price of jet fuel.

Like its parent airline, SilkAir will continue to monitor the price of jet fuel and keep the application of the level of fuel surcharge under active review.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
