Cimber Air is the latest airline to raise the fuel surcharge due to the high oil prices. Domestic routes will see a raise of € 3, giving a total surcharge of € 10.

In comparison to many other airlines Ryanair still refuse to increase their surcharge due to the rising oil prices. Instead they have decided to ground 20 of their 166 airplanes as a result of the raised oil prices, which has made it unprofitable to operate a slew of the airlines routes.
