Air France-KLM, first European alliance, will reflect the new blaze of oil on the tickets price
At Air France, this rise which will come into effect Thursday August 10, will be 1 euro on the interior flights, 2 euros on the middle-distance carriers and 7 euros on the long-distance carrier where the overload will reach 58 euros per flight.
The courses of oil continue to flame, flirtant these days with the 80 dollars the barrel.
It is the seventh time that Air France increases its surchage carburizing on long-distance carrier since its introduction in May 2004. A decision taken "because of the extremely high level of the courses of oil", indicated the company.
This increase "will be removed as soon as the course of the barrel passes by again below 65 dollars during 30 days consecutive", specified Air France.
For its part the Dutch airline KLM announced a raising of 1 euro for the domestic flights (2 euros for a return ticket), 2 euros on the middle-distance one and of 7 euros on the long-distance carriers.
Vis-a-vis with the blaze of the black gold, other companies already raised their overload carburizing: the Portuguese TAP and Malaysian Malaysia Airlines.
At this time, the near total of the companies, except for the conveyors at low costs, make divide the burden with their customers by adding overloads to the price of the tickets.
But the sector, whose kerosene constitutes the principal expenditure, must also nibble on the costs of the other stations to survive a durably expensive oil, agree to saying the experts.
In this tended context, the European airline companies are gone up to the crenel Monday against the oil companies, by claiming an investigation of Brussels into the tariff practices of the kerosene suppliers, who would deceive, according to them, of dominant positions.
In June, the Italian authorities of competition had imposed a fine of 315 million euros with six large oil companies to have exchanged information and to have increased the price of the kerosene unlawfully.
