Bmi has announced that it is removing all fuel surcharges on its flights within the
UK and
Europe.
The airline, which is the second largest carrier at
Heathrow Airport, said that the initiative recognises the current economic situation and the need to provide affordable air travel to leisure and
business customers.
Peter Spencer, bmi's managing director, said: "Bmi has always been a market leader in UK and Europe and is committed to providing the best value flights backed up by our renowned friendly service.
"Our extensive UK domestic and European mainline network links 17 cities and the abolition of fuel surcharges on these short-haul flights [is] designed to help encourage more business and leisure travel."
Across its full mainline and regional network, bmi operates some 1,800 flights per week to destinations including
Amsterdam,
Chicago,
Venice and
Zurich.
Its move to cut surcharges follows similar initiatives by
British Airways and
Virgin Atlantic, which reduced fuel charges on their short- and
long-haul flights.
