British Airways is to reduce its fuel surcharge by as much as a third on long-haul services from tomorrow.
In a statement today BA said the move reflected "the reduction in the price of oil and the airline's fuel hedging policy for 2009/10".
Aer Lingus scraped fuel surcharges on its long haul services last week.
For BA's world traveller (economy) passengers there will be a reduction of £30 per sector to £66. On long-haul flights of less than nine hours (for example to New York) there will be a reduction of £15 per sector to £53.
For world traveller plus (premium economy) flights over nine hours there will be a reduction of £30 per sector to £85. The surcharge on long-haul flights of less than nine hours will be reduced by £20 per sector to £63.
For first and club world (business class) passengers, the surcharge for flights longer than nine hours will be reduced by £35 per sector to £98 and on the shorter long-haul flights there will be a reduction of £20 to £78.
The fuel surcharge on domestic and European services will also be reduced by £4 to £12 per sector. For Club Europe (business class) passengers the reduction will be £5 and will now be £15 per sector.
