The oil price has surged. SAS and several other airlines are now raising their ticket prices.

– The price adjustment does not apply to those who have already booked and paid, Head of Communications Alexandra Lindgren Kaoukji told TT.

The Norwegian news agency NTB writes that the airline SAS ”hiking up prices – with a fuel surcharge.

Yesterday's oil price peak is behind the increase, according to NTB.

– We have made a price adjustment in relation to the extremely high oil prices, says head of communications Alexandra Lindgren Kaoukji to TT.

According to her, this is a temporary price adjustment and is being introduced with immediate effect. How much more expensive the tickets will become varies.

– It's differentiated between ”long-haul” and ”short-haul” so it's not the same cost for those flying long distances as for those flying short distances, says Alexandra Lindgren Kaoukji to TT.

Norwegian will also raise its prices, reports Norwegian Dagbladet.
