Mar 3, 2006 (newstodate): Sources claim that "some" airlines are considering restructuring their rates structure, to include fuel surcharges in the rates.
But at least Lufthansa Cargo denies any intention to change current procedures in this respect.
-From our point of view surcharges are, and will always be, surcharges. And surcharges are in general not commissable, says Nils Haupt, Lufthansa Cargo VP Corporate Communications.
-We understand that the forwarders would be happy if surcharges were included in the rates, but we think the current system is more transparent and fair for the entire industry, he says.
