United, others increase fuel surcharge

January 14th, 2008 at 03:38pm Thomas V. Bona

Airfare is going up again. United Airlines and other airlines are increasing their fuel surcharges from $10 each way to $25 because of high fuel costs. The bad news is, that’ll hike fares for Rockford’s Denver route. The good news is, it’ll also hike fares from Chicago O’Hare to Denver, so it shouldn’t affect Chicago Rockford International Airport’s competitiveness.

Allegiant Air doesn’t plan to follow suit, spokeswoman Tyri Squyres. The airline has to keep its fares low because that’s the crux of its marketing strategy.
