Passengers hit again as Aer Lingus raises fuel surcharge

AER LINGUS yesterday announced fuel surcharges would increase to as much as €90 on key transatlantic routes — the second rise by the airline in two months.

For all bookings from May 14, the airline is increasing its fuel surcharge to cover the rising cost of aviation fuel.

The last increase was in March when Aer Lingus upped fuel surcharges between €5 and €10 for flights to New York, Boston and Los Angeles.
