BRITISH AIRWAYS INCREASES RIP OFF FUEL SURCHARGE TO £43

ONLY RYANAIR GUARANTEES NO FUEL SURCHARGES EVER

Ryanair, Europe’s largest low fares airline, today (Friday, 8th June 2007) criticised British Airways for increasing its rip off fuel surcharge to £43 – its 9th increase since May 2004. Only Ryanair guarantees no fuel surcharges ever.

Speaking today Ryanair’s Head of Communications, Peter Sherrard said:

“This is British Airways’ 9th rip off fuel surcharge since May 2004. In that time the price of oil has doubled but British Airways’ fuel surcharge has increased 17 fold. British Airways is profiteering yet again.

“Ryanair carries millions more passengers than British Airways because Ryanair guarantees the lowest fares and will never apply a fuel surcharge, not now, not ever”.
