T’way Air said Tuesday it has set fuel surcharges on one-way international tickets departing South Korea and issued in April at 30,800 won to 213,900 won.
The fees are about triple this month’s levels of 10,300 won to 67,600 won.
Under the new schedule, the shortest routes, including Incheon and Busan to Fukuoka, will carry a 30,800-won surcharge. Midrange routes such as Incheon to Da Nang and Cebu will be charged 87,900 won, while long-haul routes including Incheon to Paris, Rome and Sydney will be charged 213,900 won.
T’way said the benchmark for April surcharges — the average Singapore jet fuel price (MOPS) from Feb. 16 to March 15 — was 326.71 cents per gallon, placing it at level 18 out of 33 (320 to 329 cents per gallon) amid the impact of the Middle East war.
That is 12 levels higher than this month’s level 6 (200 to 209 cents per gallon), marking the steepest one-month jump since the current surcharge system was introduced in 2016.
Korean Air, Asiana Airlines, Jin Air and Eastar Jet have also raised April fuel surcharges by up to about threefold in a month. Jeju Air is expected to announce its April fuel surcharges soon.
