Oman Air Cargo has responded to rising operating costs by introducing surcharges in its freight business from the 18th of March. The background is the ongoing volatility of fuel prices as well as higher insurance and security costs in high-risk regions.
In the future, a fuel surcharge and a war-risk surcharge will be applied. The latter will be calculated per kilogramme and is based on the chargeable weight of the shipment according to the master air waybill. The fuel surcharge is based on the Jet-A1 price on the US Gulf coast and will be adjusted weekly.
Both surcharges apply to all shipments processed through the Oman Air Cargo network, regardless of whether they have their origin, destination, or a transit point in Oman Air’s network.
Measures due to rising costs
The airline justifies the introduction with the current market environment, which is characterised by fluctuating energy prices and increased risks in air transport. The surcharges are intended to offset the increased operational costs.
Oman Air Cargo will regularly review the amount of the surcharges and adjust them accordingly in response to changes in market conditions.
