Fuel Surcharge Fact Sheet

In fiscal year 2008, due to the continued volatility in fuel costs, the City Pair Program is allowing airlines to assess a fuel surcharge to domestic or international contract fares under the following conditions:

  • The new fuel surcharge has been implemented commercially in a market during the period after the submission of offers, March 27, 2008, through the contract period ending September 30, 2009.
  • The fuel surcharge may only be assessed on fares corresponding to the contract fares after the surcharge has been in place commercially for a minimum of 14 consecutive days.
  • The fuel surcharge may not be higher than that imposed commercially.
  • The fuel surcharge will be assessed at the time of ticket issuance.
  • The fuel surcharge will be removed from the contract fares when it is no longer imposed commercially on the applicable fares in a market.

Surcharges currently meeting the conditions listed above are noted in the documents below.
