FUEL PRICE DROPS BUT BA AND LUFTHANSA KEEP THEIR RIP OFF FUEL SURCHARGE
Ryanair, Europe’s No. 1 low fares airline today (Thursday, 6th January 2005) called on British Airways and Lufthansa to end their pumped up passenger fuel surcharges.
Speaking today, Peter Sherrard, Ryanair’s Head of Communications said:
“Ordinary consumers are being held to ransom by BA and Lufthansa’s fuel surcharges even though the price of oil has now fallen. This week both airlines will reduce their ridiculous surcharge on cargo traffic but they continue to rip-off their passengers. It is a case of parcels before people at BA and Lufthansa.
Ryanair GUARANTEES no fuel surcharges and says NO to the fuel surcharges of British Airways, Lufthansa, Air France and others like them.
Passengers recognise the crude scams of BA and Lufthansa and it is no wonder they are voting with their feet by choosing Ryanair for the lowest fares, unbeatable punctuality and customer serviceâ€.
Cheers,
White Cap
