SriLankan scraps fuel surcharge

Manama: SriLankan Airlines has removed fuel surcharge on fares throughout its network with effect from January 1.
The move was aimed at passing on the benefits of reduced fuel prices to passengers, said a statement.
The Airline has completely removed its fuel surcharge on all tickets to short-haul and medium-haul destinations.
These include all cities in India and the Middle East, as well as Bangkok, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Hong Kong, Beijing, Male and Karachi.
The fuel surcharge on fares between Colombo and just five long-haul destinations - London, Paris, Frankfurt, Rome, Tokyo - has also been greatly reduced.
A flat rate surcharge of 25 euros will be levied for one-way fares purchased in Europe, and 50 euros for return tickets.
SriLankan introduced the fuel surcharge in July this year for short, medium and long-haul journeys when fuel prices reached a record high $147 per barrel of crude.
