Lufthansa To Raise Ticket Prices

by Myriam on 06/17/2010 • Lufthansa

German flagship carrier Deutsche Lufthansa AG, Europe’s biggest airline by passenger numbers, said yesterday it will raise ticket prices and lower fuel surcharges on June 22.

The ticket price increases will see Lufthansa pass on some of its investment costs to customers, a Lufthansa spokesman told Dow Jones Newswires. Prices will be increased in many markets but not worldwide.

For round-trip tickets within Europe, prices will rise between 10 and 20€, while the increase for long-distance flights will be around 30€ (37 USD), the spokesman said.

Lower fuel costs will also be passed on to customers through a lower fuel surcharge, he said. The surcharge will fall to 21€ a flight within Germany and Europe, down by around 3€. For long-distance hauls, the surcharge will decrease around 5€ to between 77€ and 92€, according to the length of the flight.
