Malaysia Airlines raises fuel surcharges on int'l routes


Malaysia Airlines, which is trying to revive its fortunes, has announced an increase in fuel surcharges on a number of international routes.

The changes, effective from Monday, will see a rise of between two and 20 US dollars for flights on Malaysia Airlines as well as those operated by its code share partners, the carrier said in a statement received by AFP Sunday.

"Fuel cost continues to remain the single largest expense item for all carriers," it said.
