[Alpha Biz=(Chicago) Reporter Kim Jisun] As international fuel surcharges fall for two consecutive months, the burden on travelers preparing to travel abroad for spring vacation is expected to be somewhat reduced.
According to related industries on the 19th, Korean Air announced the international fuel surcharge in February from 23,400 won to 176,800 won. Compared to 25,200 won to 194,400 won this month, it decreased by 1,800 won to 13,600 won.
During the same period, Asiana Airlines also adjusted its international fuel surcharge to 25,400 won to 143,600 won. It cut by 1,200 won to 6,100 won compared to 26,500 won to 149,700 won this month.
International fuel surcharges have fallen for two consecutive months since December last year. Accordingly, the application stage of fuel surcharges, which was 15 stages in December alone, was reduced by three stages to 12 stages this month. The same 12 steps as January will be applied next month.
Fuel surcharges fell because international oil prices fell during the February pricing period. International fuel surcharges are charged step by step when the average value per gallon of Singapore air oil is more than 150 cents.
