Lufthansa has increased fuel surcharges on its flights in response to rising crude oil and kerosene prices.

Fuel surcharge on domestic German and intra-European routes has been raised by 3 euros to 27 euros per flight segment. On long-haul routes it has been hiked by 5 euros to 97 euros.

The increases will apply to all Lufthansa tickets issued on or after July 17 2008, said the airline.

Lufthansa had earlier hiked its fuel surcharges on June 16, 2008.- TradeArabia News Service
