Taxes & Fuel Surcharges
In 01 September 2010 we introduced a fuel surcharge of USD 5 per one -way and though fuel cost have increased since then we had not passed any further costs to our passengers.
However it has become necessary to increase this and the fuel levy now ranges from U$8.00 to U$15.00 depending on airport of departure and is applied per passenger per sector. This is displayed on your ticket as a YR tax code.
