The price of oil, and therefore, aviation fuel has decreased over the last couple of weeks. (It hasn’t stopped one of our local garages from increasing prices by 1p though!) The price, as of this morning, stands at about the level it was at the end of February this year. That was enough for Emirates to announce that they were cutting their fuel surcharge. Congratulations for a smart move.
But what of other airlines?
