WestJet Introduces Fuel Surcharge

Tags :US, Westjet


WestJet announced the introduction of a fuel surcharge of CAD20, CAD30 and CAD45 on all short, medium and long-haul flights effective 13-May-08.

 

WestJet Executive Vice-President, Guest Experience and Marketing, Bob Cummings, commented, "This is not a decision we have taken lightly. All Canadians have felt the impact of rising fuel prices and the airline industry is no exception. We held off as long as economically possible but with the unrelenting and unprecedented increases in the cost of fuel over the last year, we are implementing this measure to offset the effect.
