LONDON (ShareCast) - Irish airliner Aer Lingus is to increase its long haul fuel surcharge on routes to the US due to the record high oil prices in recent weeks.

"The increase is as a direct result of the record upsurge in the price of oil in recent weeks and the airline's rising fuel bill," said the group.

The group said it will raise charges by 14 May 2008. No fuel surcharge will be applied to any of the 82 short haul flights operated by Aer Lingus.

“Today's increases in our surcharges reflect the continuing effect the high price of oil is having on our long haul operation. Aer Lingus will keep the level of the surcharges under constant review and make adjustments where appropriate,” said Aer Lingus Corporate Affairs Director, Enda Corneille.
