With international price of fuel dropping, Singapore Airlines is to reduce the fuel surcharge on passengers purchasing their ticket for travel between India and Singapore from September 9 will have to pay on the 63-weekly flights operated by it.

From Tuesday, passengers purchasing their tickets on SIA will be charged $100 as the fuel surcharge, instead of $110 being charged at present.

In effect what this means is that a passenger booking their tickets from Tuesday will pay $20 or Rs 800 less for a return flight between India and Singapore.

The reduced fuel surcharge will also apply on the 14-weekly flights operated by Silk Air, the 100 per cent SIA subsidiary. SIA has, however, not reduced the fuel surcharge on certain routes, including those to the US.
