Ryanair continues to be the only major airline in Britain which guarantees no fuel surcharges, today, tomorrow or ever. Oil prices can double again to $150 per barrel and Ryanair still won't apply fuel surcharges. Criticising British Airways for its constant gouging of consumers, Ryanair's Chief Executive, Michael O'Leary said: "Yet again British Airways go for the soft option. This is the 7th separate fuel surcharge British Airways have introduced since May 2004. Over the past two years as oil prices have doubled from $35 to $70 a barrel, British Airways' fuel surcharges have increased fourteen fold from GBP2.50 per sector to GBP35 per sector. This is price gouging of consumers. "At GBP35 per sector, British Airways' fuel surcharge is greater than Ryanair's average fare (GBP28 per sector). Isn't it time that BA stopped gouging passengers and started reducing other costs instead? "Ryanair would be pleased to hear from the so called Air Transport Users Committee in the UK who have remained steadfastly silent, whilst British Airways have added 7 separate fuel surcharges to hard pressed consumers. Since this quango claims to represent air transport users, why does it continue to remain silent while British Airways levy 7 separate fuel surcharges?" For the record Ryanair guarantees no fuel surcharges, today, tomorrow or ever. Ryanair's average fare (GBP28) is now less than British Airways one way fuel surcharge (GBP35). The message for British consumers and visitors couldn't be clearer. If you want to get there on-time, on brand new aircraft and be certain of no fuel surcharges fly Ryanair. If you want to pay 7 separate fuel surcharges, on old aircraft and don't mind being late, fly BA. Ends.
