With the drop in international oil prices, there are no fuel surcharges for international and domestic tickets issued in May.

The burden on airline passengers has been reduced, but as the demand for passengers has plummeted due to the spread of coronavirus infection-19 (corona19), it seems difficult to act as a boom in the airline industry.

According to the aviation industry on the 17th, the international fuel surcharge for next month was applied to the same level of 0 as the delivery, so it recorded '0 won' for the second consecutive month.

Fuel surcharges are charged in stages when the average value per gallon (1 gallon = 3.785ℓ) of Singapore Airlines oil is 150 cents or more.

The average price for Singapore Airlines for one month from the 16th of the last month to the 15th of this month, which is the basis for the international fuel surcharge for next month, is $ 27.60 per barrel and 65.72 cents per gallon.

Next month, the domestic fuel surcharge is also applied to the 0th stage, which is two steps lower than the delivery, so there is no charge.

It is the first time since June 2016 that the domestic fuel surcharge is 0 won.

Domestic fuel surcharges are charged step-by-step when the average value of Singapore airlines exceeds 120 cents per gallon from the 1st to the last day of delivery. The average price of Singapore airlines in March was 95.16 cents per gallon.

Usually, if the oil price drops and the fuel surcharge decreases, the burden on airline passengers will decrease, so travel demand will increase and airline sales will increase.

With Corona 19 already blocked most of the sky and international passengers plummeted by more than 95% compared to the same period of the previous year, the airline industry is in a crisis, so it is unlikely that the fuel surcharge of 0 won alone will help in recovering passenger demand and sales. .
