Singapore Airlines jacks up fees by US$25

Starting today, the carrier will increase its fuel surcharge between US$3 to US$25 due to the sustained escalation in the price of jet fuel in recent months.

In a statement, Singapore Airlines said the increase, which will depend on the distance and class of travel, was prompted by the increase in price of jet fuel, which now stands at above US$95 per barrel.

The increase in the fuel surcharge is the first since June 2008. The last three revisions were to reduce fuel surcharges, in September 2008, November 2008 and February 2009.

The airline said the application of fuel surcharges may be subject to regulatory approval or variation in some individual markets and will offer only partial relief from the higher operating costs arising from increases in the price of jet fuel.

"Singapore Airlines will continue to closely monitor the price of fuel and keep surcharges under constant review," it said.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
