Delta Adjusts Surcharges for Trans-Atlantic Travel
Rising fuel costs prompt action
ATLANTA, June 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Delta Air Lines (NYSE:DAL) has raised passenger surcharges on tickets purchased on or after June 15, 2005, for travel on its trans-Atlantic flights. The surcharge increase is $10 each way, except for travel originating in the United Kingdom, which is GBP 4.50 each way.
The fee affects all trans-Atlantic travel except travel to or from Canada and Mexico, and travel from France and Italy. The surcharge increase is primarily related to the rise of jet fuel prices this year. The surcharge, where applicable, will be included in the fare for air transportation services quoted in any Delta advertising, or quoted to consumers by Delta or its authorized agents. Tickets purchased prior to June 15, 2005, for trans- Atlantic travel in the future are not affected by the changes.
Delta Air Lines is the world's second-largest airline in terms of passengers carried and the leading U.S. carrier across the Atlantic, offering daily flights to 488 destinations in 87 countries on Delta, Song, Delta Shuttle, the Delta Connection carriers and its worldwide partners. Delta's marketing alliances allow customers to earn and redeem frequent flier miles on more than 14,000 flights offered by SkyTeam and other partners. Delta is a founding member of SkyTeam, a global airline alliance that provides customers with extensive worldwide destinations, flights and services.
