Thai AirAsia to raise fuel surcharge
Afp, Bangkok
Thailand's top budget carrier Thai AirAsia said Thursday it would raise a surcharge on international tickets to cope with the high cost of fuel and open two routes from Bangkok to China. The hike will take effect in June, with the surcharge rising by 50-150 baht to 600-750 baht (17 to 22 dollars), the airline said. "The increase in the surcharge was due to soaring oil prices," chief executive Taassapon Bijleveld told reporters, but added it would not hike surcharges on domestic flights. The airline currently operates seven international routes from Bangkok to Asian cities such as Hanoi, Macau, Phnom Penh and Yangon.
