Thai Airways International will raise its fuel surcharge by 20-25 percent on Monday to offset rising energy costs, a senior executive said on Wednesday.
Oil prices held above USD$118 a barrel on Wednesday after briefly hitting an all time peak of USD$119.90 on Tuesday.
"We will raise fuel surcharges on all routes by 20-25 percent on average due to rising oil prices," Thai Airways Executive Vice President Pandit Chanapai told reporters.
The carrier's cabin factor was more than 80 percent in the January-March quarter, up from 78 percent at the end of 2007, he said.
Its cabin factor averaged 77 percent in the 2007 fiscal year to September, he said.
