Apr 21, 2017 (newstodate): Ostensibly in an effort to obtain better transparency and easier fare calculation, airlines turned to all-in rates on cargo in 2015.
Among the first to go "all-in" was Emirates SkyCargo from February 2015 - and this carrier is now again taking a lead in abrogating the "all-in" rates structure and returning a modified fuel surcharge regime from April 23, 2017.
The fuel surcharge will be levied on chargeable weight on a world-wide scale but more flexible than earlier fuel surcharges, including a component differentiating for short, medium and long-haul flights.
So far no other airlines have aired intentions of following a similar path in reintroducing a fuel surcharge scheme.
