Fuel Surcharges Rise on El Al (a Blast from the Past?)

October 27, 2009 | Posted in: Airlines, Fuel Surcharges, Fuel Watch

Israel’s El Al Airlines has announced that, effective this coming Thurday (Oct. 29), it’ll raise its fuel surcharge rates.

The reason: rising oil prices.

Now don’t panic – the price per barrel hasn’t gone crazy the way it did in the spring/summer of 2008 – but it is creeping up.

So El Al is raising surcharges from $10 to $23, depending on the length of the flight. Believe me, this is a trend I’ll be watching very carefully.
