[Photo] Impact of Rising International Oil Prices... Fuel Surcharge Hits Record High
Due to the rise in international oil prices, the fuel surcharge imposed on international flight tickets has once again reached an all-time high. According to the aviation industry, Korean Air's international fuel surcharge in July has increased by 3 levels from June to level 22, resulting in charges ranging from 42,900 KRW to as much as 339,300 KRW depending on the distance. The domestic fuel surcharge will also increase from 17,600 KRW to 19,800 KRW this month. Consequently, the airfare paid by consumers is expected to rise further.
