AirAsia abolishes fuel tax

Mumbai, Nov 12 (UNI) AirAsia, the leading and largest low cost carrier in Asia, announced that it has become the first airline in the world to abolish the fuel surcharge from all its international and domestic flights from today.

Beginning today, guests flying with AirAsia and AirAsia X will only have to pay low fares, airport taxes and administration fees, an airline release said here.

To commemorate this special announcement, AirAsia has launched a regional campaign giving away 500,000 free seats to celebrate its continual market leadership in Asia. Guests can book their free seats to all AirAsia destinations with no fuel surcharge from today to November 16 for travel between June 22 and October 24 next year.

As crude oil and kerosene prices have decreased, AirAsia will be the world's first airline to waive fuel surcharge fees across its entire network including AirAsia X destinations. This will provide guests simple, transparent and low fares, the release added.
