새해 1월 국제선 유류할증료 '뚝'…최고 8만5천원→4만5천원
The fuel surcharge on plane tickets sold in Korea is coming down next month.
An airline industry official told Yonhap News Agency that... for a one-way international flight booked in January... the maximum fuel surcharge will be reduced by almost 50 percent... to around 40 U.S. dollars.
The fuel surcharge for January is determined based on the average price of the benchmark Singapore jet fuel... from mid-November to mid-December... which was around a dollar-81 per gallon.
The surcharge is imposed when the average fuel price is a dollar-50 per gallon or higher.
The maximum surcharge for domestic flights will also drop by nearly half next month.
That'll be about 4 dollars.
